Theory to Practice Book Series
Several of your fellow TEP SIG members have been working with IAP to put together a 6-volume book series titled Theory to Practice: Educational Psychology for Teachers and Teaching. Many current and former SIG members are contributing to the book as editors and authors. The book series will include the following volumes:

“I find teaching educational psychology to be important for pre-service teachers in particular, as I love watching them learn not only about their students' development, cognition, and motivation but also their own!”
“Teaching educational psychology is important to me because it empowers future teachers with the knowledge to understand the principles of learning and equips them with effective strategies to not only enhance their own teaching methods but also to guide students in developing essential skills for lifelong learning.”
“Practical knowledge of learning, development, and motivation can make or break one's teaching so I want to support the success of pre-service and in-service teachers by teaching educational psychology in a relevant and effective way.”
“I believe educational psychology is a foundational topic for anyone interested in supporting learning. The field provides educators with so many important tools to support educational equity in the classroom and beyond!”
“Teaching Educational Psychology is important for growing the next generation of researchers and professionals. Ultimately, the knowledge in our field should impact learners of all ages!”
"To me, an important aspect of teaching educational psychology involves disseminating principles, ideas, and scholarship to educators at all levels, which helps them become more effective teachers who can promote greater learning among students."
