Having been involved with simulations for over 30 years and working with leaders in different industries around the world, I have experienced firsthand just how powerful sim-based learning can be. Advancements in neuroscience and the recognition of how biases/heuristics influence decision-making, substantiate that simulations are the best modality to provide deep and fundamental learning. And because simulations can effectively be delivered in so many ways, they are considered one of the most versatile learning tools available. While simulations are used to train other high stakes jobs such as pilots, healthcare providers, firefighters, and soldiers, simulations are not a widely recognized training modality in the K-12 space…yet.
