Clinical Simulations as Signature Pedagogy explores the use of live-actor simulations as an engaging training tool to better prepare educational professionals for schoolwide challenges. In this volume, editors Benjamin H. Dotger and Kelly Chandler-Olcott present a persuasive overview of this effective method of professional development and show how it resonates with other practice-based initiatives.

Clinical Simulations as Signature Pedagogy explores the use of live-actor simulations as an engaging training tool to better prepare educational professionals for schoolwide challenges. In this volume, editors Benjamin H. Dotger and Kelly Chandler-Olcott present a persuasive overview of this effective method of professional development and show how it resonates with other practice-based initiatives. Each case study in the book showcases a distinct way in which educational simulations have been used to address common issues confronting educators, such as educational equity, community building, and cultural responsiveness. In addition, the cases highlight subject-specific concerns, from fostering inclusivity in physical education to presenting differing approaches to mathematical problems, for which live-actor simulations provide a dynamic learning context. Ultimately, this book illustrates why clinical simulations have emerged as a powerful pedagogical tool that holds promise for the professional preparation and continuing education of educators, counselors, and school leaders. "Dotger and Chandler-Olcott's book invites readers into the fascinating world of clinical simulations as a creative and innovative approach to supporting novice educators' learning through practice. With commitments to K-12 students at its heart, this volume provides richly contextualized, research grounded, and inventive illustrations of how teacher and counselor educators can draw on simulations to enrich their pedagogies and programs." --Elizabeth Dutro, professor of education, University of Colorado Boulder "This important book demonstrates clinical simulations' potential to transform how we prepare educators. The collection of chapters shows how faculty can integrate this groundbreaking pedagogy into their current programs. Moreover, it exemplifies clinical simulations' unique power to engage future educators in many essential but otherwise hidden aspects of teachers' work. Read this book to see what educator preparation can be." -- Joan Walker, associate professor of education, Pace University Benjamin H.
