Navigating the Dangerous Currents of Poverty
The large scale behavioral simulation provides students and staff with a hands-on experience of what life is like for those living in poverty while fostering an environment to confront stereotypes and biases related to poverty. During this experiential session, you will experience a portion of the Poverty Simulation, then be introduced to the full simulation. You will learn why behavioral simulations are excellent instructional methods. You will hear students’ comments about their experience. We will share details about the simulation, cost, and other learning that we have gained while using the simulation.Author(s):
