Used across preparation, coaching, professional learning, and workforce development, our online simulations support in-person and remote settings while building critical thinking, reflection, and professional confidence.
Use SchoolSims year-round for professional development, coaching, mentoring, induction, and coursework. Our simulations support K–12 educators and leaders as well as higher education faculty and candidates—providing guided, experiential learning that strengthens decision-making and practice.
SchoolSims uses interactive, educator-created simulations to help learners practice real-world decisions in a risk-free environment. Participants engage with authentic scenarios, receive feedback, and reflect on their choices—individually or with a coach or mentor. Built-in data and insights support professional growth, program evaluation, and continuous improvement.
K–12 budgeting challenges are not simply technical problems to be solved. They are leadership problems to be navigated with judgment, communication, ethics, and clarity. Simulation-based learning offers a powerful bridge between knowing what needs to be done and practicing how to lead it well – preparing leaders not just to balance budgets, but to lead budgets with impact, resilience, and purpose.
One of the most overlooked aspects of AI-related challenges in education is professional isolation. When uncertainty stays private, it often turns into stress, avoidance, or rigid decision-making. Many teachers and administrators quietly ask themselves: What if I get this wrong? What if parents push back and I don’t have support? What if my colleagues handle this differently and I’m exposed? What if I don’t fully understand the technology myself?
New educators face difficult conversations, ethical dilemmas, competing priorities, and emotionally charged situations almost immediately. Induction programs typically provide mentoring, observation, and reflection. What they often lack is structured practice—a place where educators can rehearse decision-making before their choices affect students, families, or colleagues. Simulation-based learning fills that gap.
