Hello and thank you for downloading the School Finance Simulation

This folder contains:

1.) A set of slides in multiple formats (Powerpoint, Keynote, and PDF) that may be used to introduce and summarize the simulation.

2.) A handout that should be printed and distributed to students after the introductory slides are presented but before the simulation begins. This handout is designed so that tasks 1 & 2 can be done together as a group, and the remainder serve to scaffold the other tasks.

3.) Excel spreadsheets for each of the five towns in the simulation, along with one single Master sheet that can be used by the instructor during tasks #1,2,6, & 7. I highly recommend keeping track of the various proposals made by the representatives on a whiteboard or in a similar spreadsheet. 

4.) If you wish to use the Google Sheet versions of these spreadsheets, they can be found here:

Feel free to email me if you have any questions: larkind@montclair.edu
