AAPT awarded two grants from the American Philosophical Association (APA) small grants program!
The two grants are in support of AAPT initiatives in association with the summer 2020 AAPT Workshop-Conference on Teaching Philosophy.
AAPT Graduate Student and Early Career Seminar on Teaching and Learning, Summer 2020
The American Association of Philosophy Teachers’ biennial Graduate Student and Early Career Seminar on Teaching and Learning brings together philosophers from all over the country to study materials on the teaching of philosophy in a four-day, interactive workshop led by philosophers with pedagogical expertise. The seminar provides participants with research-based best practices from both the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) and the science of learning.
AAPT Summer Seminar on Teaching and Learning Philosophy
At the 2020 AAPT Summer Seminar on Teaching and Learning Philosophy, selected high school and middle school educators will discuss new approaches to engaging students with philosophy, and exchange ideas with university faculty attending the conference. Expanding the AAPT Summer Seminar to include high school and middle school teachers accomplishes two goals: it furthers PLATO’s mission of building a national support and resource-sharing network of all those committed to advancing pre-college philosophy, and helps ensure the high quality of pre-college philosophy instruction.
