School is a Badly Designed Game: RPGs for the Classroom

Date TBA

School is a game - there are points, rules, referees - but it's not designed for the players: students. Using role-playing games in the classroom can give students back their own agency and make academic learning as inspiring and joyous as team sports. Learn how creating a fictional world, curated on Google Slides, can create an immersive classroom experience that incentivizes genuine collaboration, fosters socio-emotional growth, and increases academic gains for all students, from ND and ESL learners to those with high skill levels.
