Ken Spero, President and Founder of SchoolSims

from NACCTEP Now · host The National Association of Community College Teacher Education Programs

Ken Spero is the founder and President of SchoolSims. In this episode he discusses how the choose-your-own-adventure style of the scenarios that make up the simulations, or sims, can help to deisolate, improve self-confidence, and allow for self-reflection for teachers and school leaders across the spectrum from pre-pre-service to long established teachers and leaders. His favorite quote from Viktor Frankl is "Between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space is our power to choose." SchoolSims focuses on that space, drawing from individuals personal experiences and what they've been taught about teaching or leading, to help them explore how they might react in different situations. Further discussion and a demonstration of SchoolSims will happen during a NACCTEP hosted webinar in April, so please keep an eye out for communication on that.In the meantime, you can check out SchoolSims.com or reach out to Ken at [email protected].
