About   About the SIMs You simply play the simulation by making classroom decisions, enforcing and modifying rules, and responding to events initiated by students, parents, and administrators. At the end of each quarter you will receive feedback on how your decisions might affect the happiness, behavior, and academic progress of your students. Read the 2007 Effectiveness Evaluation Report.

"I will be a new teacher this fall and the 9-12 Discipline Simulation has been useful in helping me think of potential classroom distractions and how I might handle each. This game helps teachers learn how their responses to disruptive events affect the classroom. It's a great program!" – Lisa, Vanderbilt graduate, '07 "I will use the SIM 6-8 in our mentoring program to give my teachers a multi-sensory experience of being in a classroom before being in the classroom. It is fun, innovative, and an interesting way to give new teachers classroom management experience before the first day of school." – Lynn Pogue, Assistant Principal, Clark Middle School, TX "Ruby Payne has been very influential in helping teachers understand the changing environment in the classroom. The needs of the students have changed from 10 years ago. We must change our teaching style." – Charlie Jehler, Teacher, Central Middle School, TX 77627
