...refining my own teaching practices through insights from educational psychology research. Watching my students – future educators – exchange perspectives, engage in meaningful discussions, and develop the skills to support diverse learners makes the experience both inspiring and fulfilling."

Ngan Tran has long black hair, wire-rimmed glasses, and is wearing a black suit jacket over an orange shirt.

Ngan Tran, University of Oklahoma. "I love teaching educational psychology because it bridges theory with real-world learning, making abstract concepts tangible and applicable. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my students connect key ideas to their own experiences while also...

...as I implement the same motivation and self-regulated learning strategies that I share with students into my teaching. I also enjoy teaching ed psych because of its utility for all students; everyone is a learner and therefore benefits from understanding the science of learning."

Molly Taylor has long curly brown hair and is wearing a bright pink shirt.

Molly Taylor, Virginia Commonwealth University, @molly-taylor26.bsky.social. "I love teaching educational psychology because I can 'practice what I preach.' Ed psych is unique in this way because the content I teach helps me be a better teacher...

...It is rewarding to see future educators apply psychological principles to real-world teaching scenarios, whether through designing effective classroom strategies, fostering student engagement, or addressing diverse learning needs."

Tiffany Sheng has long black hair and is wearing a white suit jacket with a necklace.

Yue (Tiffany) Sheng, The Ohio State University. "I enjoy teaching educational psychology because it bridges theory and practice. It also helps future educators understand how students in their classrooms learn, develop, and stay motivated...

...where everyone feels welcomed and can flourish. I want to give students the resources to do that. I also enjoy teaching the research practices used so that future educators can understand what the research is saying and move forward to improve the educational field."

Summer Robinson has long red hair and is wearing a black suit jacket with white stripes over a white shirt.

Summer Robinson, University of Houston, @summerrobinson.bsky.social. "I enjoy helping others understand that education goes beyond the curriculum and pedagogical practices. As a former K-12 grade educator, I experienced firsthand the importance of creating a classroom culture...

...college students are not aware of how to use effective learning and motivational strategies because they have never been taught how to study for different assessments. Thus, I always strive to support my students' success by providing them with up-to-date research on effective study strategies."

Rachel Smith Peirce has long brown hair and is wearing a black button-down shirt with small white flowers.

Rachel Smith Peirce, Washington University in St. Louis, @rachelnsp.bsky.social. "What I enjoy most about teaching educational psychology is sharing research on effective learning and motivational study strategies with my students at the beginning of every semester. I find that most...

... in the long term. More importantly, while teaching educational psychology, I feel a sense of belonging—it just feels good that you become part of a community and endeavor alongside your students toward the goal you have set!"

Tao Li has short black hair, glasses, and is wearing a dark blue button-down shirt.

Tao Li, Purdue University. "To me, teaching educational psychology is always thrilling, as we are applying what we know to the real world! It further allows us to scrutinize how theories can be translated into practices that meaningfully inform next-generation educators and change the landscape...

...absolutely fascinating to me. And I also deeply enjoy how educational psychology in practice will be effective even if a learner might not fully understand the science behind it. The educational psychology community is also great!"
