English-speaking psychology teachers can benefit from the written advice and resources on US websites to enhance the quality of their teaching, but this information is inaccessible to those in non-English-speaking countries. With support from the APS Fund for Teaching and Public Understanding of Psychological Science, Castro and Bernstein are working to improve the international dissemination of resources for teachers of psychological science.
The first round of grants from the APS Fund for Teaching and Public Understanding of Psychological Science has been awarded to a diverse set of projects aimed at strengthening the teaching enterprise in psychology in the United States and abroad. The six inaugural projects range in focus from local to global, and from providing basic resources to psychology educators abroad to helping launch new regional teaching conferences in the United States.
The Mountain States Conference on the Teaching of Psychology was held in Albuquerque on Friday and Saturday, October 21-22, 2005. It was sponsored by the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University and Albuquerque TVI Community College and emphasized innovative approaches in the teaching of the introductory course plus several advanced courses.
