Taking Off: Best Practices in Teaching Introductory Psychology Atlanta (GA) Marriott Northwest September 26-27, 2003
Co-sponsored by the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), the National Institute for Teaching of Psychology (NITOP), and the Kennesaw State University Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning This two-day conference entitled "Taking Off: Best Practices in Teaching Introductory Psychology" will occur on September 26 and 27, 2003, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest. The conference is modeled after the successful format used in last fall's "Measuring Up: Best Practices in Assessment" conference. Featured keynote speakers include Doug Bernstein, Robin Hailstorks, and Charlie Blair-Broeker. Concurrent sessions address a wide variety of topics and issues related to teaching and assessing the introductory course at the high school, community college, and university levels (e.g., online delivery, training TAs, motivating students, selecting textbooks, addressing student misconceptions, designing tests, ethical issues, and more). Because of a generous grant from the APA Board of Educational Affairs, we are able to offer a special reduced conference rate for high school and community college teachers. In addition, members of STP also receive a reduced preregistration rate.
