Thisgame is designed to give children a fun and motivating way to discuss age-relevant issues in a nonjudgmental setting. The game fosters important exploration of social situations that elementary-aged students may encounter at home, at school, and while they are out and about in the community.
The Elementary Edition game is for both neurotypical and Neurodivergent children because most students can benefit from learning about social expectations and how all of us impact one another when sharing space together.
The game can be played across various settings: a clinical setting as a therapeutic tool, in a general education classroom to discuss different perspectives, social learning groups, and at home with parents and siblings.

As a stakeholder, knowing the perspectives of various educators will help you target your marketing to better meet the diverse needs of educators. Last year my future daughter in law, Hailey Carlson, was gearing up to do her student teaching. She has since graduated and started her first year as a Kindergarten teacher in Iowa. I may be biased, but I feel those students are lucky to have her. I wanted to interview her and get her perspective on things that I was curious about and compare that to my perspective as a 25+year educator to see if we had more things in common besides my son!
HC-I feel that my educator prep program did a pretty good job preparing me for the classroom. One thing that I wish I had more of is field experience. I believe that the best way to learn classroom management and flexibility is by actually teaching and working with students.
We have many things in common, but our love for teaching stands out the most. While we may feel our educator prep programs prepared us to begin teaching, actually we were both terrified on our first day! We both acknowledge that teachers spend a lot of time outside of their contract hours to meet the demands of their jobs, but also are mindful that there needs to be a balance. Teaching in an elementary setting is rewarding, but has its challenges. Having support from various stakeholders can help us meet those challenges.
