Setting Students Up For Success: Teaching the Teachers Conference 2024
The 2024 Teaching the Teachers Conference for Law Librarians took place May 30th and 31st at Penn Carey Law. I was part of the planning team (see below for a list of all the amazing members of the team) and attended the conference. An overarching theme throughout the planning process and the conference was the importance of setting students up for success. Whether we’re teaching a semester-long course or presenting a one-off session our goal as an instructor is student success, but setting all students up for success can be daunting. Every student enters law school with unique educational, socio-cultural, and other experiences that influence how they learn. Our approaches to teaching need to account for these unique experiences and how they impact learning.
