Facilitator: Kaitlin Banner, Senior Staff Attorney The Advancement Project The K-12 Game of Life is a dynamic workshop resource designed by the Advancement Project and the Gay Straight Alliance Network as a way to facilitate a discussion around the school-to-prison pipeline. In the game, players take on the role of a student with a unique identity and background, which may be a white student, a black student, a queer student, an undocumented student, or a student with a learning disability. Participants follow what happens to these individual students when they encounter behavioral challenges throughout their school career, and how their odds of survival and ultimate victory can vary depending on their identity.
