In order for K-12 classroom teachers and higher education professionals to adequately perform their jobs, it is essential that students preparing for these fields are exposed to how the law impacts their chosen professions. Recognizing the value of legal education for students preparing to enter these fields, some states have mandated legal courses as part of their pre-service teaching or administration programs. This presentation provides an overview of how education law can and is taught to pre-service teachers (including the scope of topics covered and methodologies utilized) as well as graduate students studying higher education. The presentation will be interactive and questions and feedback are welcomed. The goal of the presentation is to engage with other academicians in how and why education law can and should be taught.
