Two distinct resources are available from this program: (1) A curated library of publicly available web content and (2) The instructional curriculum we wrote and delivered in our own Academy, available by request through the form below. The two share no content and do different instructional work. See the below for how the two resources differ from one another so that you can determine which is most useful for meeting your needs. More complete descriptions of each resource are below the table. 

 

 

 

Working with teams of undergraduate students with an interest in curriculum design in this field, we assembled material already published on the open web and organized it into twelve psychology content areas. Research Methods, Biology and Behavior, Consciousness, Sensation and Perception, Lifespan Development, Emotion and Motivation, Social Psychology, Learning, Memory, Psychopathology, Psychotherapy, and Soft Skills. Each area includes:

 

All material was screened for accuracy and reading level with suggested discussion questions so that an instructor who is looking to increase student engagement in their course can put any item in front of students without further preparation. 

 

Within our HCOP Academy, instructors use the library as enrichment rather than as instruction. These resources are used to fill transition periods during Academy days, extend a topic for students who finish an activity early, and give a student something substantive to take home. The library carries no objectives, no assessment, and no required sequence, because it was never built to teach a unit.

 

 

 

The curriculum is original material, written for this program, delivered to successive Academy cohorts, and revised annually. Each lesson supplies measurable objectives, a pre-instruction knowledge check with a matched post-instruction item and answer rationale, a timed warm-up, sequenced core instruction, student handouts with distribution cues, cold-call questions with expected student responses, a structured think-pair-share debrief with facilitation guidance, college and career connection applications, and a closing message. Every slide in the companion decks carries instructor speaker notes, so an instructor who did not write the lesson can still deliver it as designed.

 

Complete the form below with your contact information and a brief description of how you intend to use the materials. Every request is reviewed and answered individually. We built these materials for students preparing to enter behavioral health careers, and we release them to programs that will use them toward that end.
