| Short Description | Simulations involve students in decision-making, deepening their engagement and learning. Learn a simple method for creating and planning simulation that works across classroom content areas! |
| Long Description | There is a rapidly-expanding world of engagement strategies that get students absorbed in learning. Simulations offer the chance to put students in the decision-making seat and build empathy. This presentation offers a step-by-step process for developing these simulations as a way to present novelty in the classroom and amplify learning. Through simulations, students don’t just see the content- they live it. We will offer: -The questions teachers should ask themselves when planning a simulation -Key points at which to build mechanics in order to achieve the desired learning -Important reflection resources to develop to ensure that the learning stays on track -Examples of simulations built with this method This session is suitable for teachers of all grade levels or industry professionals who want to improve training. |
