The ATPS is the Scottish branch of the UK Association for the Teaching of Psychology (ATP).

In Scotland we have approximately 50 members, who comprise school teachers and college lecturers, from as far afield as the Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland, as well as from the main centres of population.

The ATPS committee meets four times a year, produces its own website, and has a representative on the national ATP committee. We have a 'Scottish section' in the ATP Newsletter, for which contributions are always welcome.
