Simulation Webinar Event: Leading School Culture Change

March 5, 2021

How do current and aspiring school leaders approach difficult conversations happening in schools? On January 21st we facilitated a simulation where the principal of an elementary school receives concerns from staff regarding the clothing being worn by one of your novice teachers. Before you are able to address this issue, additional concerns surface about this teacher’s instruction. In this simulation, you will need to facilitate difficult conversations with this teacher to address these concerns. Simulation events like these help to improve critical thinking, decision-making, and judgment.

Hosted by Dr. David De Jong: Chair Educational Leadership, University of South Dakota Thursday, January 21st at 4:00 PM EST

Distributed Decision-Making Panel Discussion

October 19, 2020

Now that most school buildings have been shuttered for the remainder of the school year, there are lessons to be learned with respect to leadership, maintaining a positive school climate and student achievement from accredited cyber schools as well as rural school districts who have always worked, led and taught in a distributed format and through online access.

SchoolSims provides a powerful and affordable way to deliver highly effective leadership training. Current and aspiring school leaders are offered a chance to experience real-life scenarios that depict true events but in a simulated setting. Since there aren’t always right or wrong answers when it comes to human behavior, experimentation is encouraged within the simulation as there is no way to fail. Participants practice critical thinking and are encouraged to discuss the reasons behind their choices which allows for peer-to-peer learning.
