APA Teaching Tips Contest
Winners 2007

During the spring, the APA Committee of Psychology Teachers at Community Colleges PT@CC announced winners of the 2007 PT@CC Teaching Tips Contest.

Developed as a means to recognize and encourage sharing of high quality instructional techniques, the contest guidelines invited community college instructors 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.
 
PT@CC extends thanks and appreciation to the APA Education Directorate for support of the Teaching Tips Contest.  In addition, special thanks go out to all of the psychology faculty members who participated in the 2007 competition.  Join us in congratulating this year’s winners!
