STP'S in-person conference:  The Annual Conference on Teaching  (ACT)

STP hosts its Annual Conference on Teaching  (ACT) each year, typically in October.  ACT includes both face-to-face and online asynchronous content so that all teachers of psychology may participate and benefit from the presentations.  Attendees must be members of ACT to register for STP; registered attendees may invite guests to attend the conference who may register at a nonmember rate.

STP-support programming at other conferences

In addition to hosting ACT annually, STP supports programming on the teaching of psychology at a variety of national, international, and regional conferences.
