Why Attend?

Teaching is harder than it used to be. Enrollment pressure, disengagement, burnout, and AI arriving faster than our syllabi can absorb it. Most of us are improvising.

STP's Virtual Conference on Teaching (VCT) is two days of tested teaching strategies. Every session is invited and curated around what psychology educators are actually struggling with this year. More than 470 educators registered in 2026. The keynote and recorded sessions are available on-demand, so schedule conflicts don't cost you the content. And we've kept it accessible: priced so departments can send everyone, free for STP members in non-high-income economies, and non-members receive a complimentary STP membership with registration.


What Attendees Say

  • "I walked away from the workshop with a TON of ideas to implement in my own classes." 
  • "Super easy to access live talks and recordings (very low friction - well done!)...Phenomenal overall." 
  • "I felt supported in learning about the meaningful and innovative work being done in teaching."
  • "Real, useable, engaging material and assignments to use in the classroom."


2027 Keynote Spotlight

David Yeager

David Yeager — University of Texas at Austin

"Mentor mindset in the teaching of psychology: Theory and practice"

Thursday, February 18, 2027 · 1:00-2:30pm ET

Bring your hardest student-engagement questions. In this interactive session, David Yeager takes questions and puzzles submitted by the audience — how to motivate students to actually talk to one another, for example — and works through them live using the mentor mindset framework from his recent book, 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation—And Making Your Own Life Easier
