✦ Synopsis

Mathematical modeling and computer simulation methods are proposed for studying educational strategies that cannot be examined easily in an operational setting.

The computer simulator developed follows students from K-12 and computes a measure of the effect of different educational strategies on learning. Issues modeled included teacher burnout, allocation of training funds, and hiring/firing practices.
