Simulations for Current Teachers
Learn more about how current teachers are using TeacherSims.
Teachers, driven to make a meaningful impact, strive to foster a safe and supportive classroom environment where all students can thrive. Despite the diverse definitions of success among students, teachers embrace the challenge with simulations, which promote positivity, relatability, and mentorship.
Unlike traditional methods like training manuals or case studies, simulations offer immersive experiences where participants can explore learning objectives, make mistakes, and draw conclusions. Rather than providing a set formula for effective leadership, simulations emphasize the importance of understanding, evaluating situations, and choosing appropriate solutions, fostering judgment and conscious competence while addressing implicit bias.

No role at a school impacts student achievement more than that of a teacher. Teachers that participate in SchoolSims gain a larger perspective of what goes on in a classroom, and a school overall. This results in a more positive culture and climate, and improved student achievement.
Below, you can read more about why current and aspiring school teachers 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 teachers, whether already in a K-12 school or as part of a higher education program for aspiring teachers.
SchoolSims will provide training on our simulation library, how and when to use the simulations, and a one-hour session on how to facilitate simulations with Dr. David De Jong, the Chair of Educational Leadership at the Univesity of South Dakota.
We have various packages that range between $25-50 per teacher.
