Providing current and aspiring school counselors with simulations for manufacturing experiences will allow them to practice dealing with challenging scenarios in a safe space and strive to implement comprehensive, developmental programming addressing student needs. School counselors understand that students should equally demonstrate growth in their career, academic, and social/emotional domains to succeed. Simulations can be used synchronously, asynchronously, or both. Simulations are proven to improve judgment and decision-making so that school counselors are ready for the challenges of the job. It is essential in the field to have open conversations and provide guidance and support to the current and aspiring leaders of the counseling profession. School counselors are leaders, advocates, collaborators, and educators – roles that often intertwine and coincide. Download CounselorSims Overviews
Below, you can read more about why current and aspiring school counselors across the country are relying on simulations for their professional development.
Each simulation is developed in partnership with a school district, college/university, or school support entity. We ensure that the topics covered by the SchoolSims’ Simulation Library relate to many of the issues facing the schools of your enrolled students. We add 5-7 new simulations each year and also refresh existing simulations so that they stay current. By incorporating simulations into your existing curriculum – either facilitated in groups or deployed asynchronously – participants gain practice and begin to develop the essential muscle memory to make the best decisions in real life.
SchoolSims simulations are an excellent resource for current and aspiring counselors, whether already in a K-12 school or as part of a higher education program for aspiring counselors. Whether it’s for career development, or to increase job opportunities, the need for continuing education is a very real demand every counseling professional faces. It is especially important in the field to have open conversations and provide guidance and support to the current and aspiring leaders of the counseling profession.
