During this webinar, LeAnne Salazar Montoya, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Educational Policy and Leadership at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, will facilitate our End of School Year simulation, where you and your peers from across the country will weigh difficult decisions while managing conflicting interests.
In this webinar, our panel of experts in Educational Leadership and Teacher Education will discuss their research and experience on the critical importance of simulations in preparing and developing aspiring school leaders and teachers to accelerate their readiness to successfully take on their new roles.
In this webinar, Dr. Trent Grundmeyer, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at Drake University, facilitates our new simulation, Bias in the Hiring Process. During this complimentary webinar, you will join peers across the country and be put into the role of Superintendent of Gunderson Community School District. You will meet with the school board and must recognize and influence potential hiring biases. The school board has requested a voice in selecting and hiring a new high school principal. You will deal with biases in the process as they arise.
In this webinar, Dave Versteeg, former superintendent, facilitates our new simulation, Parent-Teacher Conference. You will face a communication issue between a teacher and a parent regarding the student’s performance. “Parent-teacher conferences can end up being difficult conversations for the teacher if the teacher assumes the conversation is about the student’s performance while the parent wants it to be about the teacher’s performance. How will you handle this situation?”
In this webinar, Dave Versteeg, former superintendent, and Ken Spero, SchoolSims president, and founder, facilitate a collaborative session where educators from around the country assist in building the framework of a simulation together based on the most voted-on problem of practice, Implementation of a School-Wide Decision and Learning Loss.
In this webinar, our panel of experts in educational leadership, Sara Dexter, Ed.D., Jennifer Bailey, Ed.D., David De Jong, Ed.D., Mike Johanek, Ed.D., and Trent Grundmeyer, Ph.D., discuss their research on school leader preparation and development and the impact of experiential learning opportunities through simulations. The purpose of this webinar is to provide context for the potential impact of simulation practice as a targeted professional development method that may go beyond pre-service preparation and continue as a learning pathway for in-service school leaders by examining the most recent research on leadership development.
In this webinar, Dr. David De Jong, Dean of the College of Education at Dakota State University, facilitates our Cultural Competency simulation. Now is the time to lean into cultural competency to strengthen the relationships between the school and the community. Districts cannot assume staff understands cultural competence. Leaders must take the initiative to provide adequate space to discuss cultural differences and reestablish norms built on cultural competency. Talking about change is over. Now is the time for words to become actions.
