Abstract

In this article the author describes a simulation technique which has been used in the training of educational administrators at the Universities of Bristol, Oxford, and Sheffield. The technique used is that of the Whitman Simulated School prepared in U.S.A. by the University Council for Educational Administration, and involves a description of the “Croft Hall School” set in an English town of “Fernswood”. The nature of the “in basket” material and the way it is used are described.
