In this article, the author shares his thoughts about teaching. He says in every class teachers enter, during every conversation they have, through everything they do, they should strive to create the environment that allows learning to occur. How they decide what is "worthwhile" is too complex for a simple prescription. Teachers must exercise their scholarly expertise to determine what is truly worthwhile for themselves and for their students. Utilizing a scholarly approach to teaching and learning is exciting because it provides them with a chance to be mentally engaged. Teachers create a productive environment for scholarly engagement when they apply what they learn from their successes and failures as they encounter their next teaching opportunity. This approach of being a constructive facilitator of learning is vital to their teaching roles. Teachers, individually and collectively, must strive always to be scholarly facilitators as they create opportunities to teach their students, their colleagues, and their administrators why legal studies is so important.
