Coalition for Psychology in Schools and Education
The mission of the coalition is to bring together interested psychologists to promote and make publicly accessible applications of the research that psychology has developed to assist the nation in improving
the quality of public and private Pre-K – 12 education.
The coalition further hopes to influence APA’s involvement in policy making and legislation associated
with the educational agenda of the nation. In addition, the mission of this coalition is to encourage cooperation among those APA entities and affiliates whose focus is on children and youth and the
teaching and learning processes
