CAPS Teacher Education students have been working with SimSchool, an artificial intelligence-operated teaching simulation program. The program gives students a chance to practice their teaching strategies in a low-risk environment with avatar students.
After some initial training sessions, students, this week, chose various age levels, abilities, and subject areas to add more focus to their practice. At the end of their sessions, the students get a report which analyzes their interactions with the “students” to determine whether or not they want to re-teach the same group or move on to another class of students.
