¶ … high school psychology teachers. (2013). American Psychologist
Psychology is one of the most popular elective courses in high school. This article provides advice about how teachers of high school psychology courses should be prepared for their vocations while obtaining their baccalaureates. It offers two paths to certification. One is a course-based model, in which the future psychology teacher studies foundation, breadth, and elective courses, followed by a Capstone project. The second is a standards-based model, in which teachers are required to demonstrate knowledge of various disciplinary milestones. Both methods conclude with a required formal demonstration of competency. This article was published in one of the leading peer-reviewed journals in the field of psychology.

It is guided by positive, probing questions. This article would be considered scholarly because it was published in a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the discipline of coaching psychology. It was interesting to me because of the perspective it offered upon an emerging and still little-known approach in the field of organizational psychology which is more challenging and confrontational than some other methods.
