This post is shamelessly stolen from the APA/TOPSS email all members received from Chair Mike Hamilton yesterday.
Next Tuesday, December 1, 2015, at 7:30 PM ET, The American Psychological Association and TOPSS is pleased that Regan Gurung, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay will be presenting a free webinar for TOPSS members: “Cultivate Learning: Capitalizing on the Science of Learning.” A description of the webinar is provided below; the hour-long event will include time for questions and answers. To watch the webinar, please visit this site. The webinar will be posted online after the live event. We hope you will be able to join us next Tuesday!
Cultivating Learning: Capitalizing on the Science of Learning
Regan Gurung, PhD, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay
What is the best way to conceptualize what we do as teachers? What are some evidence-based strategies to foster learning? This talk will answer these questions and more, providing a variety of key research findings relating to what works in the classroom (and what does not). Packed with pragmatic strategies teachers can implement immediately, the presentation will raise some thought-provoking questions about what learning should look like.
Dr. Gurung received a BA in psychology at Carleton College and a master’s and PhD in social and personality psychology at the University of Washington. He teaches various courses in health psychology, research methods and culture development and health. He is a past-president of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (APA’s Division 2) and a dedicated teacher with strong interests in enhancing student learning and faculty development.
This webinar has been made possible through a grant from the American Psychological Foundation, thanks to a generous gift from Lee Gurel, PhD.
I recently saw a version of this talk at the EPIC conference held at UW- Green Bay in October and IT. WAS. PHENOMENONAL. I've very excited to see what else Dr. Gurung has to share and for all of you to join in! I took home immediate and very helpful resources to bring to my classes, and you will, too.
A very happy, healthy, and grateful Thanksgiving wish to all the THSP readers from my house to yours!

I agree! His presentation at EPIC, along with the conference itself, was amazing!
Regan did a GREAT job during this webinar! I highly recommend watching it AND if you could drag an administrator from your building along to watch it with you, I bet they will find it fascinating.
