educating the educators
I came across some information on an upcoming conference for law professors at Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane, Washington. Themed “Active Teaching and Learning,” the conference will offer, among other things, “workshops that explore effective uses of Socratic dialog and active alternatives to Socratic dialog, such as discussion, simulation, writing, experiential methods, and others.” You can access the full conference flyer (pdf) listing such interesting workshops as “Empirical Insights: The Personal Foundations of Ethics, Professionalism, and Well-Being” and “Art, Music, and Drama in the Law School.” Law school wasn’t this fun when I was a kid.
