What do you like best about SchoolSims Simulations?

As an instructor for school leadership preparation, it is my mission to prepare my students as leaders who are collaborative, reflective, and empowered to co-create responsive and supportive school communities. As such, I believe it is imperative to utilize experiential learning to the fullest extent. Although Educator Preparation Programs typically have a practicum/capstone experience, I want my students to continuously gain tangible experience through every course and concept. Do medical professionals or pilots wait until the end of their studies to start gaining experience? No. So, I do not believe educators should wait for a capstone experience either. Insert SchoolSims here! Their extensive library provides opportunities for students to be in the driver's seat to navigate the multi-faceted demands of school leadership. Here, they gain experience in a safe, risk-free environment as they conceptualize moving from theory to practice.

From the stylistic perspective, SchoolSims Simulation offers a transformative learning experience through a choose-your-own-adventure format. They are authentic, applicable, and robust both in style and cognitive demand. To say my students love it is an understatement! Graduate students are busy juggling their educator careers/work, home life, outside obligations, and then grad school. It is rare they will ask for anything extra, but every time I do the sims with them, I get extensive requests for more sims to practice with.

In short, having SchoolSims has been an invaluable resource and has taken my instruction to another level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolSims Simulations?

I honestly can not note a downside. My students love them and ask for more. I appreciate how they stretch me as an instructor to explore various ways to prepare my students based upon their reflections and leadership take-aways. The team at SchoolSims continuously works to add more sims to the library. Through this, they work with educators and experts in the field to ensure that the sims are authentic and robust. There are other simulations on the market, but I do not believe they meet the level of expectations I now have from utilizing SchoolSims. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SchoolSims Simulations solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating a supportive, risk-free environment for students to gain meaningful and authentic experience. SchoolSims delivers this and more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
