Summary Report of the Topical Group on Physics Education, Community Engagement Frontier (CEF4/CommF4) Snowmass 2021

An essential companion to the development and advancement of the field of Particle Physics is a strong program in physics education at all levels, that can attract entry level students across the full demographic spectrum and provide them with the education, training and skills needed to advance to successful careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and other fields. This report summarizes the work of several investigative teams that have reviewed and assessed current opportunities in physics education across K-12, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral domains, including national and international linkages. From these assessments, recommendations have been put forward aimed to innovate educationally in strategic ways to strengthen ties between the research community and teachers, between the academic community and the private sector, and through both domestic and international connections.
