Teaching with Grace
Role(s): Artist
Teaching with Grace invites teacher to role-play in simulations of situations they might encounter in the classroom. The scenarios are designed to help teachers develop research-based teaching practices for inclusive classrooms.
The simulation prepares teachers to recognize the instructional base (i.e. content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, self-awareness, and cultural awareness) that supports teaching decisions on their feet as learning unfolds. Through Teaching with Grace, teachers build their self-awareness through slowing down time to not only to try out teaching practices, but, to consider how student answers prompt or trigger teacher responses.
I had the opportunity to create the classroom environment, rig and model the student characters, create the logo, and put together the instruction manuals and printable version of the game.
