“Teachers spend an average of $860 of their own money on school supplies for their students each year,” said Ann Pifer, executive director of AdoptAClassroom.org. “Teachers shouldn’t have to spend so much out-of-pocket to ensure their students have the materials they need to learn. We are grateful to have partners like Dungeons & Dragons who step up to support educators and help equip students with the tools and materials they need to thrive in school.”
“Dungeons & Dragons is more than just a roleplaying game that brings us together in our social lives,” said Wizards of the Coast President, Cynthia Williams. “It is a powerful learning tool that can be used inside and outside the classroom, offering social, emotional, and creative benefits. Through our partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, we are hoping to provide teachers the resources they need to offer fun and engaging ways to empower students.”
D&D has been used as a engaging classroom tool for decades now. The RPG offers students the ability to learn key life skills like problem-solving, collaboration, inclusivity, and empathy.
