Ellen Yankiver Suni, University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF PROPOSED PRESENTATION To share with colleagues what I have learned about course development and implementation from my experience in using Internet-based course materials to teach my substantive first-year Criminal Law class. To share my efforts to integrate what I have learned in 20 years of academic support work into my substantive teaching and to obtain feedback from colleagues on how these efforts can be expanded and improved. To motivate other faculty to depart from traditional teaching materials and methods and to integrate varied strategies and methodologies into substantive first year classes in a way that motivates students, enhances sequential learning, teaches to the whole class, creates opportunities for reflective learning, and (hopefully) provides deeper understanding and a stronger conceptual framework and to encourage faculty who do so to become part of a network of innovative teachers who learn from each other and share ideas and experiences. METHODOLOGY In this proposed presentation, I will take faculty through various parts of my website to demonstrate how I have integrated case analysis, statutory interpretation and problem-solving into my Criminal Law class in a way that, I believe, maintains student interest, addresses the needs of many types of learners, allows students to successfully engage with difficult material by means of sequential learning strategies, provides for self-reflective learning, and explicitly focuses on process as well as substantive law. Although the time available is short, I plan to: provide an initial overview to explain what I hoped to accomplish by developing the website and the materials on it. introduce the “Prepare-In Class-Reflect” format that incorporates what I’ve learned from my academic support experiences into my substantive classes and provides the theme for each class session take attendees through several representative “class days” to demonstrate the variety of teaching approaches used and why I believe they represent appropriate teaching and learning strategies (The “Outline of Class Sessions” handout will allow attendees to review the remainder of the website with these ideas in mind after the conference) answer questions from attendees about the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to first year teaching learn from the suggestions offered by those in attendance
