The American Psychological Association’s (APA) Board of Educational Affairs has, over the last decade, commissioned working groups to set a national agenda for introductory psychology. Through the APA’s Introductory Psychology Initiative, experts produced the first comprehensive guidance on course design, instructor training, and student success. These special sections of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology represent a continuation of the effort to ensure that introductory psychology reaches its life-changing potential. The first special section, published in the current issue of the journal, includes four articles that provide a broad overview of the Introductory Psychology course as it currently stands and as it might be envision based on the APA’s Introductory Psychology Initiative. Another special section will be published in the next issue of the journal. The second special section consists of five empirical studies of instructional methods used in the course.
