Specializing in Teaching and Training

Columbia, South Carolina is home to the National Advocacy Center. The NAC is the principal training center for the US Department of Justice to train US Attorneys from around the country.

When the Office of Legal Education (inside the NAC) needed an expert to teach US Attorneys about Instructional Design, they called me. I was honored to be brought to the NAC for two days to teach as a part of the inaugural Instructional Design Symposium. I spent time with brilliant US Attorneys working through the existing ways they teach and helping them redesign courses in line with research on instructional design. We talked through such topics as:

• The Fundamentals of Instructional Design
• Human Cognition
• Motivating Learners
• Presentation Design

The sessions were well received and the attorneys were given time immediately following the sessions to apply what they had learned. The courses that emerged and the discussions were thoroughly satisfying. I was glad to have been a part of this important work! Thank you to the US Department of Justice and the Office of Legal Education for inviting me to be a part of the symposium.
