Clinical simulations provide teachers with opportunities to enact professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Building on medical
education's long-standing use of standardized patients, this book infuses standardized individuals and clinical simulations into teacher
education. As participating teachers engage with standardized parents, students, paraprofessionals, and community members, they
encounter a variety of situations common to K-12 teaching. This book provides
teacher educators and professional development facilitators with the background knowledge, training procedures for standardized
individuals, logistical steps, and all documents necessary for successful implementation of twelve different clinical simulations.
This book is constructed for teacher educators and school district personnel who intend to facilitate clinical simulations for teachers.
Teachers serving as participants in the clinical simulations should consult the separate text: Clinical Simulations for Teacher
Development: A Companion Manual for Teachers."
