THE UNP COLLEGE OF LAW, IN COOPERATION WITH THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND INSTRUCTION AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, EMPOWERS ITS FACULTY THROUGH A TWO-DAY HYBRID SEMINAR ON ADVANCED TEACHING STRATEGIES
Great lawyers are not born in the courtroom; they are formed in the classroom. And behind every bar-ready, practice-ready graduate stands a faculty committed to becoming better teachers, not just better lawyers.
This commitment came alive on July 17β18, 2026, as the UNP College of Law held its Hybrid Seminar on Advanced Teaching Strategies and Institutional Orientation for Law Faculty; gathering our esteemed professors, both onsite at the Old Registrar's Office and online via Zoom, for two days of intensive learning, reflection, and renewal, held deliberately ahead of the opening of the new Academic Year on July 27, 2026.
It was a fitting way to begin: before our faculty step into their classrooms for another academic year, they chose first to sit as learners themselves, sharpening their craft so that every student who walks through our doors this coming term benefits from teaching that is thoughtful, current, and intentional.
Guided by experts in adult education, Dr. Christian Gea A. Florentino and Dr. Joey-Nell T. Marzan, our faculty explored the Foundations of Andragogy, unpacked the principles of Authentic Learning β experiential, problem-centered, and self-directed strategies designed to transform passive recipients of legal knowledge into active thinkers, ready to reason the way real lawyers must. The seminar closed with a deep dive into Classroom Management for Adult Learners, thus, equipping our educators to lead classrooms as dynamic as the profession they prepare students for.
Because at the UNP College of Law, we believe that producing bar-ready and practice-ready graduates begins long before the bar exam or the courtroom; it begins with how we teach. Every strategy refined, every policy clarified, and every insight gained in this seminar is an investment in the quality of legal education our students will receive when classes open on July 27, and, ultimately, in the kind of lawyers they will become.
To our faculty members who gave their time and full presence to this endeavor, even before the academic year officially began β thank you for continuously choosing growth. Our students, and the profession they will one day serve, are better for it.
