I have been teaching AP and on-level psychology for 9 years and have been an AP Reader for the past 3 years. I am a member of my state's teachers of psychology committee and attend at least one other psychology conference every year. I attended the conference at Clark University in 2016, the APA Summit on High School Psychology Education in 2017, and NCSS in 2018 and 2021. I was a master teacher presenter at the APA TOPSS Virtual Workshop for High School Psychology Teachers in 2021.
It's all about balance. I believe important for activities to be enjoyable for students, but it needs to be based on the science of effective learning as well as ethical. I have been fortunate to learn from the best of the best in AP Psychology and have been taught to evaluate what I present to my students. I am incredibly passionate about using techniques supported by cognitive psychology to help support my students in their learning and prepare them for life outside of my classroom.

These items are not created to market to other teachers- these are what I use myself in my classroom. I have been teaching for a decade and am very much involved in bettering myself as a teacher and contributing to the validity of psychology as a science within instruction. I hope your students experience the same success mine have with these!
