The Prince George’s Community College Department of Psychology and Argosy
University are sponsoring the 10th Annual Mid-Atlantic Teachers of Psychology

conference is to bring together teachers of psychology from universities, two
and four-year colleges and high schools, who wish to enhance their teaching of
psychology and expand their teaching skills through, workshops, lectures, and
participant idea exchanges on successful teaching strategies and techniques.
In addition, MATOP fosters the development of valuable teacher networks that
further strengthens the continued support of good teaching and professional
fellowship. Registration is $60.00. Early registration (by September 15, 2008)
is $50.00. High school teacher fee is $50.00. The conference runs from 8:30

Dr. Thomas Bailey and Debra McLaughlin of the University of Maryland University
College will present the keynote address, “Embedded Assessment.” Lisa
Zimerelli, Director of the Effective Writing Center at UMUC will discuss
assessment of writing. Other sessions will focus on teaching students to write
and score AP essays, assessment with a multicultural population, and
standardizing assessment within the introductory course.
