Announcing the 2008 Teaching Tips Contest For Psychology Teachers
at Community Colleges

The APA Committee of Psychology Teachers at Community Colleges (PT@CC) invites you to participate in the fourth annual Teaching Tips Contest! Sponsored by the APA Education Directorate and PT@CC, the Teaching Tips Contest aims to encourage sharing of instructional techniques that community college faculty have developed and used in psychology classes.
    
Community college instructors are invited to submit an original demonstration, an individual or group class activity, an interactive teaching/learning module, or other pedagogy designed to illustrate a psychological concept or theory. Preference will be given to active-learning approaches.
 
The competition is open to psychology teachers who are members of PT@CC. Faculty members interested in joining PT@CC can obtain more information on the Web or by contacting Martha Boenau at 1-800-374-2721, ext. 6140, or by email. An award of $400 will be given to the first place winner; $300 to the second place winner; $200 to the third place winner; and $50 each to two honorable mention winners. Certificates for all winners will be presented by PT@CC at the American Psychological Association annual convention.

Look for the new format for submissions on the PT@CC Web site (www.apa.org/ed/pcue/ptatcchome.html).  Submissions may be mailed to Martha Boenau (APA Education Directorate, 750 First St, NE, Washington, DC  20002-4242, or sent via email). Entries must be postmarked by May 1, 2008.
