Introductory psychology is critical in explaining the importance of psychology to the general public-people who will vote, decide what and whom to believe, and make psychology-related decisions throughout their lives. Transforming Introductory Psychology is a treasure-trove of information for both seasoned and new instructors. Every chapter is written by well-known psychologists with a cumulative hundreds of years of experience. It is a must-read for faculty, curriculum committees, and everyone else who cares about quality teaching. - Diane F. Halpern, PhD, Professor of Psychology Emerita, Claremont Mckenna College, Claremont, CA, and Past-President of the American Psychological Association This remarkable collection of chapters should be required reading for all teachers of introductory psychology, especially those who are considering reshaping the course in line with recommendations of the APA amp rsquo s Introductory Psychology Initiative. The authors are expert introductory psychology teachers whose insights and ideas will surely stimulate colleagues at every academic level to think more deeply about their teaching goals and assessment methods, as well as about how they might incorporate thematic innovations into their courses. Bravo! - Douglas A. Bernstein, PhD, University of South Florida, Tampa
