Panel Webinar Event: A Discussion With Experts in Educational Leadership
April 7, 2022
In this webinar, experts in Educational Leadership discuss how simulations play an integral role in the effectiveness of many of the top Educational Leadership Graduate Programs in the country. Representatives of these programs will discuss the integration of simulations into each of the panelists' Educational Leadership Graduate Programs and how districts can enhance their principal pipeline and professional development programs with this experiential learning tool.
In this session, our Ed Leadership expert panelists will give their thoughts and answer these critical questions many educators have about simulations:
To what extent can simulations prepare learners to be effective professionals? Can we “trust” them as formative or summative assessments?
Are we now in a new normal post-pandemic? Are simulations more so-called for now than ever before? And might this mean we no longer need field-based experiences to prepare professionals?

SchoolSims provides a powerful and affordable way to deliver highly effective training for school leaders and teachers. Current and aspiring leaders and teachers are offered a chance to experience real-life scenarios that depict true events but in a simulated setting. Since there aren’t always right or wrong answers when it comes to human behavior, experimentation is encouraged within the simulation as there is no way to fail. Participants practice critical thinking and are encouraged to discuss the reasons behind their choices which allows for peer-to-peer learning.
