What Do I Need to Know Before I Play a SchoolSims?

Please note that these simulations are designed to be a safe environment for applying critical and creative thinking to real-world challenges. There is not necessarily a best choice for each decision you will face, and that is done intentionally. This is intended to prompt your thinking about what you would actually want to do beyond the constraints of the simulation.

We encourage you to play through the simulation multiple times, trying different options to see how you might adapt to other outcomes. This will allow you to experience and work through different consequences, even if you would not have chosen those options in real life. Please note there is a full simulation overview and facilitator guide below (if applicable to your role).
