Join SchoolSims founder Ken Spero as he explores how simulation-based learning can transform summertime professional development for teachers and school leaders. Unlike traditional PD, simulations immerse educators in realistic, problem-based scenarios that mirror the challenges they face in schools—encouraging reflection, decision-making, and active learning. Designed with flexibility in mind, simulations can be completed asynchronously, allowing participants to engage at their own pace and on their own schedule. Plus, with the SchoolSims Cohort Planner, districts can create collaborative learning experiences that drive deeper engagement and continuous growth. Ready to elevate your summer PD? Let’s talk about how SchoolSims can support your professional development goals!
