Additional Information
FAQs
How will country assignments work?
If you register with a cohort of 5 teachers or more, you will be guaranteed your own country - all teachers must sign up before we reach 50. If you sign up with less than 5, or by yourself, the simulation will place you with other teachers based on the results of your Foreign Policy Attitude Test.
Can I receive CPE Hours?
Absolutely - upwards to 8 hours! If you have specific questions about your state requirements, please reach out to Stefan at [email protected].
Signing up with others
You will be asked to provide the full name and email of other teachers you would like to have in your country. We recommend joining as a department as this is a great way to bond with other teachers at your school and to support each other!
Do I have to attend every Tuesday Zoom meeting?
We highly recommend you block out that hour of your week to interact at the very least with other countries (this mirrors in-class time with students). If you know for sure you cannot make a meeting, it is on you to inform the rest of your country.
How will we be meeting?
We will be using Zoom as our main meeting room. You are able to schedule your own Zoom meetings within Statecraft and invite any player. You are also encouraged to use a platform that works best for you.
Why should I attend the Debrief?
The Debrief is designed to help illuminate the decisions that other countries made and why they made them. You may learn about secret missions they were incentivized to take and their overall strategies and approach to playing. Also, if you at some point chose to use Statecraft in your classes, this is a great way to understand how to run a Debrief Meeting.
Are we taking any holiday weeks off?
No, we will not. We realize this may be an inconvenience, however, we also understand that this year people may be celebrating holidays differently than normal. We want to make connecting with others during these times special even if at the very least, through Statecraft.
