Using to Technology to Teach the Teachers
Professor Lisa Dieker is developing cutting-edge training tools, like virtual reality and simulation technology, similar to those used by a pilot in flight training, to improve teachers’ skills.
In this simulated environment, we expose teachers to a variety of settings ranging from calm to chaos.
Like a pilot, they can practice under a variety of stressful situations. Lisa uses innovative techniques to eliminate barriers that would prevent students—including students with disabilities—from reaching their full potential.
The best teachers empower their students and improve a child’s self-esteem. And we’re providing the tools to help teachers do just that.
Promoting teacher and student learning. That’s UCF.
