On today's episode we hear about pedagogical simulations and the immigrant experience in educational settings from Dr. Kerri Evans, Assistant Professor of Social Work at UMBC.
Dr. Evans describes an ongoing project to develop a board game designed to enhance experiential learning surrounding the experience of immigrant children in the K-12 educational setting in the United States. The project, which was sponsored by a Hrabowski Innovation Grant, has led to the development of materials that can be seen by clicking this link.
