10 April 2025Dr Louise Loder and Professor Greta Bosch at Exeter Law School have been awarded a grant from the Association of Law Teachers (ALT) for their research project, ‘How Great Law Teachers Teach: Mapping a ‘gold standard’ for law teaching in the UK university law school’.
The project aims to address the gap in the provision of quality, meaningful professional development and ad hoc training opportunities for law teachers keen to explore new pedagogical approaches and infuse their teaching with creativity, technology, student perspectives and practitioner expertise.
Building on Schwarz et al’s research published in ‘What The Best Law Teachers Do’, this project will collate and study the practices of some of the UK’s many great law teachers; identify gaps in current training / professional development opportunities for UK law teachers at all career stages; and explore the feasibility of a peer-driven learning platform to make training available at scale and at no cost to UK law teachers.
