D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Educator Giveaway

​

Wizards of the Coast partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to offer libraries of Dungeons & Dragons titles for educators along with a $100 grant. The library includes hardcover copies of the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, Monster Manual, Candlekeep Mysteries, and D&D Essential Kit along with the D&D Campaign Case token sets for Creatures and Terrain and the D&D Afterschool Club Kit which includes the D&D Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle boxed set. Each of the 200 winners will also receive a $100 grant for a total of a $20,000 cash donation.

Educators with an active AdoptAClassroom.org account with an educational program for Grade 4-12 can submit their application for one of the 200 libraries available until October 31, 2023. The winner will be determined by a random drawing in early November.

This joins other initiatives from Wizards of the Coast to help teachers and educators bring D&D to students. The D&D Educator Resource page includes lesson plans for different grade levels using D&D material, promotional assistance for D&D after-school clubs, free Educator Licenses for D&D Beyond digital books, applications to receive the D&D Afterschool Club Kit, and webinars with guidance on including D&D in lessons and as an extracurricular activity.

This sounds great. Any educators here care to comment?

The TTPRG, if the Game Master is the right person, promote the four Cs of the education: Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration and Communication.

There's a whole lot of scholarly work out there about the use of RPGs in both education and therapy.

I am currently DMin' an after school program. WoC has been very supportive with material both print and digital. I couldn't be happier with the company's level of support!

Why does it look like the thief is about to backstab the dwarf fighter. Might say something about my trust issues though.

Not an educator, but I recall my old town and the gaming store cooperating with a private school that rewarded its middle-school students with a weekend D&D session, if they met particular goals. Always packed.

Rather cynical, but is this a way of getting rid of old stock?

I teach middle school and just started an afterschool D&D club about a month ago. We've got 20 (ish) kids spread out over 3 games, 2 of which are student run. It's been a rough start . . . I'm a teacher, but I've never taught D&D to kids before, and I forgot how COMPLICATED character creation can be!! But the kids are all having a blast, glad I did it!

I have no experience with AdoptAClassroom.org, but it seems legit, especially if WotC is willing to partner with them. I created my account (classroom page link below), and hopefully some good will come from it!

This contest is a way for WotC to spread the gospel of D&D, support educators . . . and a way for AdoptAClassroom.org to gain more educators using the site as well. Seems like a good match.

Most teachers spend $860 a year on supplies. Give them what they need, when they need it.
