Learning for Life II

The picture above shows police officers from Fort Payne and DeKalb County in an active shooter response course at an elementary school. (see full story here)


I am not going into the topic of security improvement vs school experience again. (see previous posting). What I find interesting about this picture is that it acknowledges that training works best in real-life-situations.

Practicing emergency and combat situations in close-to-real-simulations is nothing new. Why are immersive lessons still rare at schools and universities if they are such an efficient way to learn?
