Learn how Soft Skills are being developed through the use of Tabletop and RPG games in a secondary special education classroom. See and plan how to do the same in your setting.
Long Description:
During this hour participants will review what soft skills are and the importance of their instruction. Participants will walk through incorporating a game into part of a lesson/unit on developing different soft skills. See how RPG mechanics are used to explore decision making in life, through students creating their characters and rolling (literally) with challenges they are likely to experience in the “real world.” Hear about the challenges and successes in the implementation and be advised about things to consider when starting to use games to develop soft skills. Lastly, in small groups or individually, outline a lesson/unit focusing on a skill specific to the population with which participants work they can bring back to the classroom.
