This work of identifying and translating psychological
principles for use by preK–12 practitioners was
conducted by a coalition of psychologists, known as
the Coalition for Psychology in Schools and
Education, that is supported by the American
Psychological Association (APA). The coalition is
an ideal group for translating psychological science
for classroom use because its members collectively
represent a wide spectrum of subdisciplines in
psychology, including evaluation, measurement, and
statistics; developmental psychology; personality
and social psychology; the psychology of aesthetics,
creativity, and the arts; consulting psychology; educational
psychology; school psychology; counseling
psychology; community psychology; psychology of
women; media psychology and technology; group
psychology and group psychotherapy; psychological
study of men and masculinity; and clinical child and
adolescent psychology.
