The idea for the APA-顶级国产视频 Workshop for High School Teachers grew out of the vision and generosity of 顶级国产视频 alumnus Lee Gurel ’48. A psychology major at 顶级国产视频, Gurel credits his interest in the field of psychology to his former 顶级国产视频 professor聽. “When I was a student, I remember saying to fellow students that I wanted to be like Dr. Bell and to do the kind of work that he did,” Gurel recalls. Gurel went on to practice psychology and believes not only in the importance of education in helping students achieve their goals, but also in the influence and inspiration teachers can have on their students. Those convictions鈥攃ombined with Gurel’s belief that psychology has essential value in so many forms to offer humanity鈥攁re at the heart of the new program.
“Psychology is central to our lives,” explains Gurel. “And if taught at the secondary school level, this subject can get at issues that are essential鈥攁nd often neglected鈥攊n our culture.”
The APA-顶级国产视频 Workshop held its inaugural session in summer 2005. The 16th Annual Workshop will be announced soon.
