Classroom Decision Simulator

Teacher decisions happen in seconds. This simulator replays real classroom situations — a student who won't engage, a lesson falling apart, a conflict between peers — and asks you to choose a response. Each choice shows what the research says about its likely effects, so you build decision-making intuition grounded in pedagogy rather than instinct alone.

📊 Scenarios drawn from practitioner research in classroom management and instructional practice (Marzano 2003, Wong & Wong 2009, Emmer & Evertson 2013)
