ACTOP+September+2015

ACToP September 18 & 19 2015 Atlantic Coast Teaching of Psychology Bi-Annual Conference

Thanks to Monmouth University, APA BOE and Worth Publishers for supporting this conference !
I only had 40 minutes so I focused on a couple of concepts that I think are very important and could be integrated into any Introduction to Psychology course. There are lots of great resources available that teachers can explore and find information to use with many different units of study. I included several resources on the slides, which focus on developing strengths and virtues, as well as a few related to the research on mindfulness and gratitude.
 * My presentation was entitled: __ Experiencing and Teaching Personal Well-Being __**
