tofugirl101 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well hello there :) Long time, no type :D I'm going into my Junior year, and I'm looking for a good, thorough Psychology curriculum. I've googled and stalked local bookstores, but no luck. Any high school Psychology curriculums you guys recommend? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandigirl Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hey Tofu girl! Have not heard from you in a while. I am actually taking AP Psychology this fall and I think the book that was recommended now would be great . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofugirl101 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 @brandigirl Could you relate the name of the book dear patron? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrrl Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I recently saw a course by Oak Meadow (click here). I don't know anything about it, but thought you might want to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerMom Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This spring I put a high school psych course together for my niece and used the Oak Meadow Psych as the base, and added the books "Brain Rules" by John Medina (I consider a MUST read for anyone) and "Gifts Differing" by Isabel Briggs Myers. Before reading "Gifts Differing" you should take at least a variant of the MBTI test. You can get a good (and free) estimate of your MBTI type from taking Kersey's Type sorter in the front of his book (though I think his book is more pop-psych). The MBTI is still used by a lot of psychologists, especially favored by HR in the corporate world. Note that Maslow's pyramid was recently redone and an interesting exercise can be to debate the merits of the new versus the old pyramid (personally, I think they fubar'd the new one up by putting parenting on the top, since that would make it the first thing to be expendable when things got tough. I don't think human history supports that notion, as too many parents have sacrificed their wellbeing and even their lives for their offspring).

Mom22ns Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Oak Meadow and SL both have AP Psychology courses based on the same Meyers text. Hippocampus (NROC) has a free Psychology course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissi Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Sonlight offers an AP Psychology course that we did last year.You can buy the textbook from Amazon and order their interactive Psychology workbook that provides excellent support for the parent in using the textbook. Christian viewpoint is also provided. Even though it is labeled AP you can do the course and call it Honors Psych. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 My daughter is using the Psychology course offered by Sonlight. http://www.sonlight.com/590-00.html It is quite challenging already and Sonlight states that it should prepare the student to take the AP Psychology exam. God luck, Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jenny Flint Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 They use a solid text and the Norton Psych. reader, and my son really enjoyed the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
