Please see the announcement below about hosting the GSTA for the next 3 years.
This is a great opportunity for a graduate level program.
The Graduate Student Teaching Association (GSTA) is the student affiliate
organization of APA Division 2: Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP).
The GSTA provides psychology graduate student teachers and teaching assistants
with an array of services to hone their teaching skills. The GSTA is an avenue
for graduate students in psychology and related fields to integrate information
relevant to their career development as future contributing members of the
professoriate. The GSTA can be a powerful tool for psychology graduate student
teachers and teaching assistants to dedicate themselves to a lifetime of
improving the learning process and improving the lives of others.
The GSTA holds the following philosophy: a good teacher is courteous,
passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated. A good teacher also has the ability
to exert influence beyond the classroom and is capable of helping others to
change the way in which they think about specific issues in psychology. The
GSTA recognizes the power of employing psychological principles to positively
change the lives of those around us, and that teaching can serve as an
effective vehicle toward this end. Contributing to the body of teaching-related
research is another way to positively influence others.
Applicants must submit the following materials in order to be considered for

1. A letter from a psychology faculty person, who is a member of STP,
