INTENTIONAL DESIGN
Our simulation scenarios provide preservice teachers with low-stakes opportunities to practice skills that are otherwise hard for them to practice in real classrooms with real children.
RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS
We form collaborative partnerships with research teams from internal and external institutions and organizations to study and integrate the use of simulations into teacher preparation.
RIGOROUS EVALUATION
Through series of experimental replication studies, we examine the causal impact of providing preservice teachers with practice opportunities in a simulated environment.
TEACHER READINESS
Our interventions support preservice teachers in gaining the skills and knowledge that are required for effective teaching from the first day they enter the classroom.
