Welcome to VaTOPSS

VaTOPSS (Virginia Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools) exists to provide a channel for teachers of Psychology in Virginia to connect with one another.  While colleagues in other disciplines regularly collaborate with others, many teachers of Psychology find themselves alone in their building.

Through VaTOPSS, we can hopefully connect with one another in meaningful ways to strengthen the discipline of Psychology across the Commonwealth. To stay informed of updates on the blog, please subscribe by e-mail using the widget on the right.
