About the
Conference
The 3rd Annual Mountain States Conference on the Teaching of Psychology - or Mountain ToP for short - took place in beautiful Durango, Colorado on October 6-7, 2007 and it was a raging success! The average participant rating for the overall conference was 4.91 out of 5.
Next year at your place? See below.
The conference offers highly engaging and interactive sessions in a small, intimate setting. Our target audience includes psychology instructors in high schools, community colleges, 4-year colleges, and universities throughout the Rocky Mountain region. The 2007 conference included keynotes from renowned national speakers such as Doug Bernstein, Bill Buskist, and David Daniel as well as hands-on workshops and stimulating roundtable discussions.
Topics
included teaching critical thinking, research on excellence in teaching,
innovative approaches to teaching statistics, using PowerPoint effectively, and
how to make your introduction to psychology course come alive.
We had an amazing experience in 2007, with
many participants describing it as one of the most valuable conferences they
had ever attended. So let's keep the Mountain ToP conference alive as a vibrant
rotating conference in the Rocky Mountain Region - how about next year at your
place? If interested, please contact Richard Gorman at rgorman@cnm.edu for information and possible
