Society for the Teaching of Psychology: Division 2 of the American Psychological Association

Early Career Psychology Committee

The Early Career Psychology (ECP) Committee is charged with spearheading activities and opportunities to aid Early Career professionals through education, training and networking, as well as representing ECP interests in division matters. Our goal is to help serve the needs of new faculty members as they develop their courses and research programs. Specifically we want to assist ECPs with faculty development issues while focusing on the importance of pedagogy and facilitating the scholarship of teaching and learning. 

STP defines early career as a member who is within ten years of beginning teaching of psychology and who is not a student. Any STP member who meets this definition qualifies for the ECP resources described below.
