AP Psychology Development Committee

2024-25 Development Committee Members

AP development committees represent a unique collaboration between high school teachers and college faculty. 

These dedicated educators play a critical role in the preparation of the AP Psychology course and exam. They represent a diversity of knowledge and points of view in their fields and, as a group, are the authority when it comes to making subject-matter decisions in the exam-construction process.
