Designed for secondary and postsecondary CTE healthcare educators, this session reframes simulation as a budget-friendly, formative learning tool rather than a high-stakes performance test. Grounded in national best-practice standards, participants will learn how to facilitate the full simulation cycle—prebriefing, execution, and debriefing—to build student clinical judgment and confidence. The presentation provides practical, low-cost strategies and structured assessment tools tailored for pathways like CNA, pre-nursing, and EMS. Ultimately, attendees will leave with ready-to-use resources to align psychologically safe simulations with course outcomes, regardless of their budget or setting.
