Updated Myers’ Psychology for the AP® Course

You are likely familiar with the name Dr. David G. Myers. Now, he and his new co-author, Nathan DeWall, bring you a book that will allow you to use College Board's new Personal Progress Checks and Dashboard more effectively. This updated edition includes 100% of the new course content in the new nine-unit structure. All teacher and student resources will also be updated to correlate to the new student edition; this includes the TE, TRFD, TB, Strive, and LaunchPad. Everything will publish in summer 2020 such that you can use this new program for Fall 2020 classes. If you're not familiar with Myers/DeWall texts, you are in for a treat! Drs. Myers and DeWall share a passion for the teaching of psychological science through wit, humour, and the telling of poignant personal stories (individually identified in the text by the use of each author's initials [DM and ND]). Through close collaboration, these authors produce a unified voice that will teach, illuminate, and inspire your AP® students.

Organized to the Fall 2019 AP® Course Framework. This updated edition includes 100% of the new course content in the new nine-unit structure. Supplements are being reorganized too. Modular Approach: This book is organized by units and modules for easier assignability and readability. Units are divided into 3 to 10 modules each. Each module breaks the course material into a pedagogically appropriate "chunk" that is designed to be presented in one or two class periods, with additional class periods for activities, demonstrations, and reinforcement, as needed. Learning Targets: The numbering system of the learning objectives is key to the organization of the text. The Learning Targets appear in statement form at the beginning of each module to help orient you to the material you are about to read. These clear and measurable Learning Targets provide you with a snapshot preview of the section material, while allowing you to "check off" each objective as you master it. The objectives are repeated in an engaging question form in context within the module, and then used at the end of each module for review. Check Your Understanding features, found at the end of major sections of text, include Ask Yourself questions, which encourage students to apply new concepts to their own experiences, as well as Test Yourself questions (with answers in Appendix E) that assess mastery and encourage big-picture thinking. Module Reviews repeat the numbered objective questions (Learning Targets) and address them with a bulleted summary. Unit Review Sections include page-referenced Terms and Concepts to Remember as well as a list of Key Contributors discussed in the unit. A full-length AP®-style practice exam is included at the end of the text to ensure your students have nailed down the content and are ready to tackle the exam in May. A Key Contributors list appears at the end of each unit to highlight the influential figures in psychology your students should know. Margin Features: AP Exam Tips: Offer invaluable advice upon which concepts to focus and how to avoid common pitfalls so students can be successful in the course and on the exam. Try This boxes help students connect more deeply with the concepts they're learning by putting concepts into real-life practice. FYI boxes are interesting tidbits of information that help connect the content your students are reading with real-life examples and research studies. Margin Glossary provides a highlight of the vocabulary students need to realize success on the AP® exam.
