Welcome From STP President
Welcome to the homepage of the premier organization committed to advancing quality teaching of psychology. The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), Division 2 of the American Psychological Association, includes 3,000 members teaching in high schools, community colleges, and universities. Our goal is to offer the highest quality resources, workshops, and services to our members. You will find current information about teaching conferences in psychology and a myriad of peer-reviewed resources to assist in the teaching of psychology at this site. Key among our resources is a set of syllabi that are available for course planning. We also offer small grants for individuals and groups to advance the teaching of psychology. As the 2008 President of the Society, I would like to welcome and invite you to contact me if you have questions or would like to receive additional information.

The Society also strives to advance the scholarship of teaching and learning, advocate for the needs of teachers of psychology, foster partnerships across academic settings, and increase recognition of the value of the teaching profession.
