INFO: Div 20 Social Hour at APA Convention
In 1983, Old Ebbitt moved to its current location at 675 15th Street, N.W., to the Beaux-Arts building that was once the old B. F. Keith's Theater. Bringing its rich history with it, the "new" Old Ebbitt remains a virtual saloon Smithsonian.
Old Ebbitt acquired beer steins, animal heads (reportedly hunting trophies of Teddy Roosevelt), and wooden bears said to have been imported by Alexander Hamilton for his private bar. The Victorian interior evokes Washington saloons at the turn of the century. Antique gas chandeliers and fixtures light the Main Dining Room. The wooden crossbeams on the 10-foot ceilings are accented by a style of pinstripe stenciling popular at the turn of the century. The chairs in the dining room are copies of antique Victorian bentwood chairs from a New York Central Railroad dining car. Historic paintings are found throughout the restaurant, including a ceiling mural by New Jersey artist Carol Loeb and impressionist-like paintings to capture unofficial Washington.

Call for Nominations to the
Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology
APA's Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology (CDIP) seeks nominations for two new members to begin three-year terms on January 1.
The Committee’s mission is to promote the:
§ psychological well-being of people with disabilities;
§ inclusion of knowledge about disabilities and disability issues in education, training programs, policies, and professional development of psychologists;
§ development and implementation of psychological service delivery modes responsive to the needs of people with disabilities; and
§ awareness of disability in psychological research as well as specific research activity in disability areas.
CDIP provides leadership within APA to shape policy, research and best practices in the field of psychology and disability. 2011 – 2012 initiatives include the identification, implementation and dissemination of culturally-competent and accessible services. Examples include but are not limited to multidisciplinary initiatives around health care disparities and the delivery of telehealth services.
CDIP is also particularly committed to promoting alliances with other underrepresented groups within the field of psychology in an effort to continue to increase the presence of disability in psychology while also appreciating the intersection of multiple identities with disability.
CDIP actively recruits members of the disability community and/or their allies who are full members of APA with specialization in disability issues. To this end, the Committee strongly encourages applications from those who have a disability and/or those with personal experience with disability. The Committee also seeks psychologists who are members of other underrepresented groups.
Selected candidates will be required to attend two committee meetings each year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by the APA, and are encouraged to participate in CDIP-sponsored activities held during the APA Convention at their own expense. Members are also expected to participate in email discussions and conference calls, and work on Committee priorities between meetings.
Nomination materials should include a current curriculum vitae and a letter from the nominee indicating willingness to serve on CDIP and highlighting specific competencies, interests, and potential contributions to the work of CDIP.
Nomination materials and supporting materials should be sent by August 20, 2011 to: Anju Khubchandani, Office on Disability Issues in Psychology, 750 First Street NE, Washington, DC, 20002-4242 or akhubchandani@apa.org.

INFO: Call for Submissions: Suggested Performance Indicators for the National Standards
From: APA Division Officers list on behalf of Leary, Emily
Sent: Tue 5/3/2011 9:55 AM
Subject: [DIVOFFICERS] Call for Submissions: Suggested Performance Indicators for the National Standards
Call for Submissions: Suggested Performance Indicators for the National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula
To facilitate the implementation of the forthcoming National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula (draft, 2011), the National Standards Working Group invites all APA governance groups, divisions, members, and affiliates, as well as the public, to contribute suggestions for Performance Indicators, to accompany the revised document.
Designed to describe what high school students should learn in the high school psychology class, the National Standards is organized by Domains, Standard Areas, Content Standards, and Performance Standards. Performance Indicators are used for the assessment of student learning, and should include examples of potential ways that a student can demonstrate mastery of the material. An example follows from the current National Standards (APA, 2005):
Describe and compare the biological, behavioral, cognitive, sociocultural, humanistic, and psychodynamic perspectives.
Examples of performance indicators that would indicate whether or not students mastered this performance standard include:
· Analyzing how each perspective would explain concepts, e.g., aggression, altruism;
· Evaluating the limitations of each perspective in assessing behavior and mental processes;
· Comparing primary emphases of the different perspectives; and
· Examining historical factors that influenced the popularity of a selected perspective.
Groups and individuals are invited to submit Performance Indicators online at http://apacustomout.apa.org/commentstandards/. The first deadline for submission is June 15, 2011, but suggestions will be accepted on an ongoing basis. A draft copy of the National Standards and instructions on submitting Indicators are provided through the website above.
Performance indicators as recommended through this website will be reviewed by a panel of expert teachers and faculty and provided online to accompany the National Standards. While Performance Indicators function merely as examples and are not meant to be all inclusive, the hope of the National Standards Working Group is that the online submission and review process will allow for a comprehensive, up-to-date listing of recommendations for teachers and other stakeholders to use.
Please contact eleary@apa.org if you have any questions.
