Over the course of your teaching career, you will come in contact with many students. Certainly, that contact
has an impact on their lives. However, can you make a difference in the world beyond the influence your
teaching has on individual students? How might your teaching contribute to social change?
For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how your view of the teaching
of psychology might relate to social change beyond the individual-student level. Then think about examples
that illustrate the relationship between social change and teaching.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 4
Post by Day 4 a brief description of how teaching of psychology might relate to social change beyond the
individual student level. Then describe two examples that illustrate the relationship between social change and
teaching.
Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional
articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.
By Day 6
Respond by Day 6 to a colleague who discussed different examples by sharing any insights you gained from
having read your colleague’s post.
