All APA teacher affiliates have digital subscriptions to the journal Translational Issues in Psychological Science® (TPS). TPS is an APA quarterly journal that focuses on how psychological science contributes to important current topics. Each issue concentrates on one theme that is of broad interest to scientists, practitioners, and the general public. A working group from APA’s 2017 Summit on High School Psychology Education recommended that TPS be made available to teacher affiliates, noting the journal’s accessibility for introductory psychology students and teachers and the ease with which its articles could fit into the introductory psychology curriculum.
Teacher affiliates can access TPS online and use the journal articles in your classes. Information about accessing and subscribing to the journal is provided below.
