The School District of Philadelphia utilizes SchoolSims to prepare culturally aware leaders through its Aspiring Principals’ Academy. Led by Brandon Cummings, the academy uses simulations to train assistant principals in Equity-Centered Leadership. Participants engage in real-world scenarios, practicing decision-making in a safe environment. Since 2020, over 28 simulations have been used more than 200 times, helping future leaders navigate social-emotional issues, equity, and difficult conversations. The simulations align with PSEL and NELP standards, enhancing the leadership skills of participants.
