Each simulation is created in collaboration with K-12 schools, colleges/universities, or educational support organizations. We ensure that the topics in the SchoolSims Simulation Library are relevant to the challenges faced by the schools of your enrolled students. Every year, we add 5-7 new simulations and update existing ones to keep them current. By integrating simulations into your existing curriculum—whether facilitated in groups or used asynchronously—participants gain hands-on experience and start developing the critical skills needed to make the best decisions in real-life situations.

SchoolSims are designed to align with PSEL (Professional Standards for Educational Leaders) and NELP (National Educational Leadership Preparation) standards. By immersing participants in real-life school-based scenarios, these simulations offer a valuable opportunity to practice evaluating situations and applying the appropriate standards in a risk-free environment. The alignment with PSEL ensures that current school leaders are developing the necessary competencies to foster student success, while the NELP alignment supports aspiring leaders in meeting the rigorous expectations of their preparation programs. Through simulation-based learning, participants gain practical experience in decision-making, instructional leadership, and ethical school governance, reinforcing their readiness for real-world challenges.

SchoolSims will help you select the appropriate titles for each course or topic. You can then utilize the simulations synchronously, asynchronously, or in a blended fashion.

SchoolSims will provide training on our simulation library, how and when to use the simulations, and a one-hour session on how to facilitate simulations with Dr. David De Jong, Dean of the College of Education at Dakota State University.

SchoolSims pricing is based on the number of participants in the cohort that will utilize the simulations. Request pricing here.
