Abstract

This paper focuses on research based on educators’ use of a simulated teaching environment and its relationship to changes in indices associated with equitable teaching practices. Data from ten educators who spent an average of 4 hours and 45 minutes completing 17 sessions in four modules providing feedback on each session in a simulated teaching environment are included. Results indicated that there were significant and educationally meaningful positive changes in measured indices related to equitable teaching practices following experience teaching in the simSchool simulator.
