Simulation Learning

Simulation based learning and assessment is a powerful pedagogy for social work. Based on a long-standing program of research at FIFSW, we have demonstrated the benefits of using simulation to develop holistic competence for  social workers. Students and instructors are enthusiastic about the approach.

Simulation is the signature pedagogy of the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work. Since 2010 we have embedded simulation in the MSW Program and developed the Toronto Simulation Model.

Read the story of how an entire faculty pulled together to research the most effective methods of education, then put those methods into practice in classes to become a world leader: “Building Holistic Competence.”
