Interdisciplinary teaching can increase student learning and engagement. Through interdisciplinary projects students develop a more complete understanding of complex issues and real world problems. You are encouraged to invite academic subject teachers to join you in delivering elements of The Real Game. For example, Math teachers can help with sessions where numeric calculations are important (i.e., budgeting), Geography teachers can help with vacation planning, English teachers can co-facilitate sessions where reading, writing, oral communication, document use and new vocabulary are featured. Teachers can also align activities and homework assignments in their classes with The Real Game learning objectives to further engage students in learning mastery As the students role-play various employment, unemployment and family situations, they explore the importance of transferable skills, self-knowledge, lifelong learning and the primacy of career planning to achieving satisfying, fulfilling lives. They are exposed to dozens of occupational possibilities and are actively encouraged to pursue and realise their dreams. The Real Game benefits from the involvement of guidance counsellors or career practitioners, and is well-suited to a team teaching approach. Some sessions can be delivered in one subject area (social studies, language arts, or math, for example) and expanded on in another. Older students in peer tutoring roles can help deliver some sessions, and members of the community can be involved at many stages during the program. A dozen familiar faces will be pulled out of their comfort zones to be coached, trained and then to compete in the hope of coming top of the medals table and being crowned winner of the competition.

Integrity: Behave in an ethical and honourable manner even when no one else is around. Be genuine, so your actions match your words.

If you have, for example, 30 students playing The Real Game, you could simply assign roles from cluster A and cluster B. Alternatively, you could select 30 role profiles you feel are highly representative of your community from any of the four clusterss. You could use different clusters each time you facilitate, to keep the program fresh for you. Students enjoy playing the game more than once if they experience a different role each time. As well as live coverage of the events, each episode will feature the celebrities’ preparation, their gruelling training programme leading up to the competition as they aim to reach their peak physical condition. The Real Game provides many opportunities to evaluate your players' progress, such as group projects and session activities. A Performance Review is included later in this Introduction. Use it or design your own to gauge changes in attitudes, behaviours, attendance, etc., and to measure acquisition of new knowledge or skills. Each session includes performance indicators correlated to learning objectives so you can evaluate players' progress. Personal Reflection: This takes the knowledge students acquire in the session to a deeper level of understanding. Here they analyze, synthesize, judge, assess and evaluate new knowledge in light of their own unique goals, values, and beliefs. Students are encouraged to reflect on ways in which this new learning might become part of their real life behaviour. They can reflect through journaling, talking with friends and family, or in other personally relevant ways.

Activities: The step-by-step exercises in which your students will engage. They have proven effective in classrooms around the world. However, as you gain familiarity and confidence with the game, adapt the activities to your own teaching style, class, and facility. It's not 100% clear if the above method is too much but I've completed it this way and seen a streamer do the same. Optional Activities: Additional exercises which, time permitting, expand on the session and its objectives or take advantage of learning moments. Feel free to design your own additional activities, explore cross-curriculum opportunities by delivering the session in one subject area and following up in another, and plan activities with a team (small learning community) of teachers.The Be Real Game Online maintains the focus of the original version on career and life/work roles being managed and experienced in a safe environment with the support of a Facilitator – Careers Adviser, teacher or mentor.
