Join the Field Office and the Associate Dean for Educational Programs to learn more about how instructors for the U-M SSW can utilize online simulations for both their own practice as well as how to use with students. The U-M SSW has given students and instructors access to simulations in the last year, and these simulations are valuable tools for practicing a multitude of intervention techniques. Simulations help students to learn the technique and then practice it in a virtual setting - all before having to use them with real-world clients. This helps students learn many challenges of therapy and make mistakes with a virtual client before working with clients in the field. We will show instructors what these simulations look like, how students should use them, how they can incorporate them in class, and then give time to practice the simulations.
Describe different methods of teaching when using simulations in class.
Apply knowledge of simulations and how they work during class with students.
