Psychology for All: celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion
Association for the Teaching of Psychology, 27th Annual Conference
University of Exeter, Thursday 9th July to Saturday 11th July, 2009.
The conference is for teachers of psychology and will offer updating sessions on psychology, presentations and workshops on teaching and learning, and opportunities to share good practice.
THEMES: The conference will have three themes
Inclusion and diversity: Our students have diverse backgrounds but much of the content of our courses and texts is quite narrow. The programme will include events that explore these issues and consider how we can introduce them into our lessons.
Teaching and Learning: The programme will include a range of events that aim to update teachers on developments in psychology and deal with issues of how best to engage learners.
This is the modern world: Psychology curricula sometimes seem to be stuck in time. The programme will contain events that look at psychological issues in a modern context.
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The conference will provide a wide range of CPD opportunities for teachers including,
- Updating key areas in psychology
- Sharing good practice with colleagues
- Seminars with examiners from the Awarding Bodies
- Displays and demonstrations from educational publishers
- Using technology in teaching
