Games and Simulations in Teacher Education

Part of the book series: Advances in Game-Based Learning ((AGBL))

Abstract

Novice teachers need to develop foundation teaching skills to effectively address student behavior and academics in the classroom. The TLE TeachLivE™ simulation laboratory (TLE) is a virtual classroom used to supplement traditional instruction and field experiences in teacher preparation programs. The TLE platform is an innovative means of providing preservice and novice teachers with means to meet the needs of students from academically, behaviorally, and culturally diverse backgrounds by providing rehearsal opportunities to acquire and master high-leverage teaching practices. This chapter contextualizes the impetus for the development of TLE and its significance as a tool that teacher educators can use in the preparation of their candidates. The chapter further describes the procedural use of TLE sessions when used within teacher preparation programs, highlighting the aspects of individualized clinical coaching and reflective practice, and perceived value among users. An overview of the developments and iterations of the logistics and technologies associated with the lab is also provided. Caveats and recommendations for use conclude the chapter.
