Description

The CABE Teaching Resources Award serves to encourage the development and dissemination of teaching resource materials in order to enhance the teaching of undergraduate psychology. As we prepare the field of psychology for current and future global opportunities and challenges, CABE acknowledges that AI continues to transform the way we learn, teach, and work. Thinking critically about AI-generated content and utilizing AI tools ethically and effectively are essential for teaching and learning in psychology and the future of the field. Consistent with APA’s Strategic Plan to prepare the discipline and profession of psychology for the future, the committee is also particularly interested in receiving teaching resources that promote/develop one of the following:

All submissions will also promote APA Project Assessment because awardees will have an opportunity to have their work included in this digital repository of resources. Awardees may also be invited to author an article on their resource for the Psychology Teacher Network

Number of awards: A maximum of two awards of $250 will be given. Submitted resources that have substantial merit may earn an honorable mention (no monetary award) and may be disseminated by CABE, with the author credited. Applicants are invited to submit multiple teaching activities. However, an applicant may only receive one monetary award.

The CABE affirms its commitment to supporting the APA’s Racial Equity Action Plan (PDF, 1.3MB).
