SchoolSims offers simulation-based experiential learning, allowing educators to practice critical decision-making.
About us
Current and aspiring leaders are faced with day-to-day challenges that are varied and unpredictable as they develop their experience portfolio. One of the key limitations to learning from real-life experiences is that the consequences of one’s decisions do not always unfold right away. SchoolSims provides a risk-free environment through software simulations where participants have an opportunity to fail as they face difficult situations. Our facilitated simulations essentially accelerate time allowing participants to decide on a course of action, implement it, and experience its consequences, all within the same exercise. Used as part of a leadership development curriculum, simulations provoke meaningful shared experiences and promote peer-to-peer discourse. Critical thinking is a key skill for current and aspiring leaders and when simulation participants engage in critical thought and make a choice, in that moment, the learning objective of critical thinking is achieved, and true learning occurs. The inclusion of SchoolSims simulation software in your professional development program will result in a deeper experience catalog for current and aspiring leaders, improved retention of K-12 leaders, and have a positive impact on teacher and student performance and the communities they serve.

We’re thrilled to share newly published research by Dr. David De Jong from Dakota State University and Dr. Sara Dexter from the University of Virginia on "Experiential Learning Through Simulations in Fully Online Asynchronous Courses: Exploring the Role of Self-Debriefing." This study explores the impact of simulation-based learning on student engagement and skill development in fully online environments. As the demand for effective online education continues to grow, their findings provide valuable insights for educators looking to enhance experiential learning opportunities. We encourage you to preview the study and consider how these insights could be applied in your own teaching practices. 📖💻 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eJ7VG5y6 or https://lnkd.in/eSE7SAyS
