Teaching Competency Sample Clauses

Teaching Competency. Teaching competency in the classroom will ordinarily be exhibited by an effective teaching methodology that engages students in learning and holds students accountable for preparation of assigned materials. Although a range of acceptable teaching styles exists, effective teaching is an interactive, dynamic enterprise. Classroom activities should be aimed at developing fundamental lawyering skills (e.g., problem solving, legal analysis and reasoning, legal research, fact investigation, oral and written communication, counseling, negotiation, litigation, and alternative dispute-resolution procedures, as well as recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas) and other fundamental values of the profession. The ultimate goal of the classroom teacher is to instill in students the art of exercising professional judgment -- the product of trained familiarity with the law, a disciplined, analytical approach to legal problems, and a firm ethical commitment. Teaching competency also requires careful attention to the design and implementation of examinations and other methods for evaluating student progress. An effective examination should provide opportunities for students to demonstrate competency in addressing current and anticipated legal problems encompassed by the subject matter of a course. Effective examinations should reflect changes and developments in legal standards that are expected to occur over time in a well-designed course. Courses using research papers as an evaluation method should provide adequate guidance as to the expected requirements for content and format. Faculty consultation with students about their research methods and progress in organizing and developing a research paper (e.g., reviewing outlines or interim drafts) would ordinarily be expected. Courses based on skills evaluation should provide adequate guidance as to the expected skill set to be developed and the standards for measuring student progress. Skill courses should also provide opportunities for feedback that facilitates student progress in the development of professional skills.
