Network Hubs
As part of the Network of Expertise the NZAPT is organising and facilitating local network hubs. Local network hubs are schools that have been  grouped by geographical location with the aim of sharing resources, offering support and training. Schools in the hubs either teach full courses in psychology, one or more standards or are looking to start teaching psychology.
​To find out more information click on the picture to be taken to the Network Hub page or click on the Network of Expertise tab found on the top of this page.
To be added to a hub please contact nzapt@hotmail.com

PSYCHOLOGY IS GRANTED UNIVERSITY APPROVED SUBJECT STATUS

NZAPT is utterly delighted to announce that NZQA has informed the association that level 3 Psychology standards will be added to the approved subjects list for University Entrance from April 2019. This means that students studying level 3 next year can use these standards in their UE qualification. 

The campaign to have psychology recognised as a rigorous, academic subject deserving of UE status has been long and determined. NZAPT would like to acknowledge and thank the many people who ​

have worked towards this outcome as well as our many supporter and advocates. This includes former NZAPT committee members, school principals, people at NZQA and the Ministry of Education as well as our valued colleagues in university psychology departments around the country. 
See blog for press release.

Network of Expertise Announcement

The New Zealand Association of Psychology Teachers is pleased, proud and excited to announce that we have been awarded a Ministry of Education contract for the next two years under the 'Networks of Expertise' initiative. Networks of Expertise are designed to provide subject specific professional development support for teachers. The focus of the Network set up by NZAPT will include strengthening existing supports such as our annual professional development workshop as well as developing new initiatives to provide resources, peer support and networks for new and experienced teachers of psychology in new Zealand.  We need you to take a few minutes to respond to the survey on Network proposals and resource development!
