About SchoolSims

Simulations are a series of linked scenarios, in a choose-your-own-adventure format, that capture the challenges of school-based leadership problems of practice that sitting and aspiring leaders can experience in a safe manner so they can fail forward.

The Simulations offer a collaborative opportunity for leaders to:

  • Exercise judgment and improve decision making
  • Experience consequences and build resilience
  • Get feedback for reflection and learning
  • Engage in peer-to-peer discussion

Simulations help to increase leadership capacity, reduce isolation and improve student achievement in their buildings.
