Coalition for Psychology in Schools and Education

We are a diverse group of psychologists from across APA who are dedicated to enhancing teaching and learning through the application of psychological science to pre-k to 12 education. Collaborating across disciplines, we develop practical tools and resources grounded in science to support educators, empower students, and strengthen school communities.
