In this simulation activity, middle school education students will teach a science class where one of the students, Davy, is an English Language Learner at a WIDA level 3. Davy's language of origin is Khmer, which nobody in the classroom understands. Learners must teach the science vocabulary in a way that is accessible and understandable to Davy, while still engaging the rest of the class. This simulation is designed to help students develop the skills and confidence needed to teach diverse learners, including those with language barriers. By practicing real-world scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, students will be better prepared to provide quality education to all students in their future teaching careers.

In this simulation activity, education students will participate in a parent-teacher conference with Mitchell Ingraham, who is meeting his son's fifth-grade teacher for the first time. Mitchell and Will are new to the area, and the conference is to discuss the results of the beginning-of-the-year assessment. During the simulation, students will be prompted to discuss the assessment results with Mitchell, address any concerns or questions he may have, and provide recommendations for supporting Will's academic progress. This simulation is designed to help education students develop the skills and confidence needed to effectively communicate with parents, including active listening, empathy, and providing recommendations for academic support. By practicing real-world scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, students will be better prepared to provide quality education and communication to parents in their future teaching careers.

In this simulation activity, middle school education students will facilitate a group discussion in a science class with Davy, Dev, Savannah, Jasmine, and Ethan. The discussion question is "Which is densest: ice, water, or steam?" and the students must form a hypothesis and answer the question as a group. During the simulation, students will be prompted to facilitate the discussion, encourage participation from all group members, and guide the group towards a conclusion. This simulation is designed to help education students develop the skills and confidence needed to facilitate group discussions, including active listening, encouraging participation, and guiding the group towards a conclusion. By practicing real-world scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, students will be better prepared to provide quality education and facilitate group discussions in their future teaching careers.
