2021 #VWEDU Is leadership an educational objective:? How do you teach it? Leadership Growth in Metaverse Simulations

Is leadership an educational objective:?  

How do you teach it?  

Leadership Growth in Metaverse Simulations  

Professional Identity and Leadership Growth in Metaverse Simulations: Join Spinoza, Lyr, Delightful, & JJ  present three immersive 3D simulations designed to help participants assess their professional identity and strengths for leading teams through complex challenges.

• Watch on YouTube
• Professional Identity and Leadership Growth in Metaverse Simulations
• You give them a book about leadership.  
• You make them read it.  Maybe you lecture to them about it,
• Once you hear lecture about swimming, you never forget what you learned about lectures. Talking is not teaching
• You give them tests to verify that they remember what the text told them.
• You have taught them to talk about leadership.  
• You have not had them practice and demonstrate leadership skills. 
• Here is another way.

Leadership

• Teach leadership
• Once you hear lecture about swimming, you never forget what you learned about lectures. Talking is not teaching.
• Center for creative leadership
