Abstract: This proposal seeks to highlight the fact that leadership is situational, and in our work to support students, staff, families, and teachers, we must deeply engage to understand the contexts in which we work. We see compassionate leadership as an approach that might help leaders meet the demands of our current sociopolitical context. In order to support skill-building for compassionate leadership, we developed a virtual simulation activity, using the Mursion platform. This virtual simulation is designed to allow graduate students in a leadership preparation program to practice compassionate leadership moves.
