STP-APS Teaching Institute

The APS-STP Teaching Institute is held annually as a pre-conference to the regular conference of the Association for Psychological Science.  The teaching institute begins with a Wednesday evening workshop and continues all day Thursday with plenary and concurrent sessions on a host of topics relevant to the teaching of psychology.  The institute also includes an active and vibrant poster session.  In addition, STP sponsors three talks during the regular convention.
