The School District of Broward County has successfully achieved its leadership development goals by integrating SchoolSims simulations into its training programs. Recognizing the importance of professional development for school leaders, Dr. Reginald Pierre-Jerome, Leadership Coordinator, implemented these simulations across nine distinct Leadership Development programs, including the intensive one-year LEAD program for aspiring Assistant Principals. The simulations facilitate peer-to-peer learning through critical discussions at each decision point, allowing participants to identify and address unconscious biases in a safe environment. New Assistant Principals benefit from practicing critical thinking and decision-making skills, while novice district leaders gain experience without waiting for real-life challenges. Aligned with Florida Leadership Principal Standards, these simulations enhance the effectiveness of training and ensure high returns on investment by preparing leaders for demanding situations, similar to training methods used in the medical and aviation fields. Overall, the district emphasizes the significance of “learning by doing” to equip leaders for real-world challenges.
