Annual Teaching Case and Simulation Competition

Competition Prizes

• $5,000 for best teaching case
• $5,000 for best teaching simulation
• $1,000 honorable mentions

Collaboration is not simply a body of substantive knowledge–it also is a set of skills, attitudes and behaviors. This E-PARCC competition track aims to expand access to high-quality, relevant case studies and simulations focused on helping students and practitioners better understand and enact multiple aspects of collaboration to address public issues and problems.

Public and nonprofit managers, civic leaders and elected officials are rarely unitary supervisors of unitary organizations. Instead, they often find themselves collaborating in multi-organizational networked arrangements, as well as with the public, to solve problems that cannot be solved, or solved easily, by single organizations.

Learning approaches that emphasize participatory, collaborative and conflict-sensitive strategies and skills have been found to be effective for enhancing public policy and managerial capacities. Such learning, however, often depends on having relevant case materials that address the situation-specific requirements of diverse audiences.

This E-PARCC competition track aims to expand the knowledge base of case studies and teaching materials about collaborative methods in international development in transition and conflict countries.

All prizes are supported by the Glendal E. and Alice D. Wright Prize for Conflict and Collaboration Case Studies in International Development.
