Student-Industry-Teacher Simulations (SIT-SIMs)
High school teachers may participate in two different ways. The teacher will have an opportunity to review simulations to determine whether they are appropriate for high school students. The teacher will have an opportunity to bring students to the SIT-SIMs at Oakton and participate in the activities along with the student. If SIT-SIMs is held on a week day, the teacher receives CPDUs for attending. If it is held on Saturday, the teacher receives CPDUs and compensation.
