This panel discusses how simulation-based learning in macro-focused social work education can address a gap in experiential learning. Through simulations, students bridge theory and practice and develop critical thinking skills and professional competence. The panel explores implementation experiences and highlights how simulations prepare students for diverse social work practice settings.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Upon completion, the participant will be able to gain an understanding of how integrating simulation-based learning into macro social work education can address the learning gap between policy and practice.
  2. Upon completion, the participant will be able to explore strategies for designing and implementing simulations that engage macro social work students in real-world scenarios involving policy, community organizing, and leadership.
  3. Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify opportunities to implement macro simulation-based learning in macro-focused courses.
