Welcome from the STP President
Welcome to the community of scholars dedicated to the teaching of psychology. If you are already a member of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), then welcome home! If you are just visiting us, please enjoy your stay—and consider joining our organization.
We are a diverse group of colleagues who teach in high schools, two-year community colleges, and four-year colleges and universities. This home page contains a variety of materials, services, recommendations, outlets, and opportunities designed to help teachers of psychology teach well and to improve how their students learn.
The content of this web site has been crafted by the dedicated membership of STP, the largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving and recognizing the importance of teaching and pedagogy. Like the store of teaching knowledge, the resources on our web site continues to grow—so do check back often.
Warm Regards,
Dana S. Dunn
2010 STP President
STP Mission Statement
The Society for the Teaching of Psychology advances understanding of the discipline by promoting excellence in the teaching and learning of psychology. The Society provides resources and services, access to a collaborative community, and opportunities for professional development. 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.
Note: STP functions as Division 2 of the American Psychological Association (APA) but welcomes to full membership those who have no APA affiliation. It is not necessary to belong to the APA in order to be a member of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology.
