Because it is time sensitive, I needed to pass along this message now from Scott Plous of the Social Psychology Network:
Dear Colleagues, I'm writing with two invitations: (1) Apply for a Teaching AwardYou're warmly invited to apply for this year's Social Psychology Network award honoring excellence in "action teaching" -- that is, teaching which not only leads to a better understanding of human behavior but to a more compassionate, sustainable, and peaceful world.
The award is open to all instructors regardless of student level (K-12, high school, college, graduate level, or adult learners). Entries can be a student assignment, classroom activity, field experience, or web-based demonstration. For further details, please visit:
http://www.ActionTeaching.orgThe application process is simple, and the prize is $1,000. If you teach in a creative, socially engaged way, please consider applying for this award (Deadline: January 15, 2012).
(2) Help Yourself to Award-Winning Teaching MaterialsThe www.ActionTeaching.org web site contains an archive of 25 award-winning examples of action teaching, all of which are free for you to use or adapt as you see fit. Please help yourself to any classroom activities, student assignments, or other materials of interest!
Best wishes for 2012, Scott Plous Professor of Psychology SPN Executive Director =============== Jon Mueller Professor of Psychology North Central College 30 N.
