Elon Law professor and director of the Center for Engaged Learning in the Law Steve Friedland has co-authored the book Techniques for Teaching Law 2, a book designed for law teachers who want to improve their teaching and students' learning.
Carolina Academic Press published the book and describes it as follows:
“The first two chapters present foundational principles of learning and instruction as well as insights from students. The next 12 chapters address classroom dynamics, technology, questioning, discussion, collaborative learning, experiential learning, feedback, assessment, and continued development for teachers. Each of these 12 chapters introduces the topic based on educational research and then offers classroom-tested exercises, approaches, material, and methods contributed by veteran teachers.”
In addition to Friedland, the book’s authors include: Gerald Hess (Gonzaga), Michael Hunter Schwartz (Washburn), and Sophie Sparrow (New Hampshire). Together, they have over ninety years of experience in the law school classroom.
Carolina Academic Press also notes that, “Techniques for Teaching Law 2 retains the format of the first volume, but introduces new content and new ideas that instructors of any level and background will find useful.”
