If you're new to the Crunched Education Program or looking for new simulations for your class, this guide will help you learn more about the program and its features.
On average, our simulations take between 6-14 hours which equates to about 2 weeks of class time depending on how long your classes are and how often you meet per week.
To demo one of our simulations, request a demo and a team member will contact you to successfully deliver a simulation packet and login credentials.
All simulations are a mixture of both. Each student receives a hard copy simulation packet with various source documents and utilizes the Crunched Cloud Accounting Software to navigate through the simulation.
We recommend utilizing Google Classroom to have your students upload their reports into the different assignments. If you do not utilize Google Classroom, you can have your students print their reports. From there, you will receive the answer keys and a grading rubric to track your students understanding of the topics.
Note: Google Classroom is not required.
We do release updated versions of our simulations each year with new numbers to constantly change the answers for new students.
In the CEP Welcome Packet, you will receive a class roster sheet with all of your assigned login credentials. Simply pass out the simulation packets and note the students name in the correct column next to the packet ID.
Schedule a call with one of our account executives to decide which plan is right for you and talk about the next steps to take to purchase the Crunched Education Program simulations for your classes.
Our simulations are designed to fit within your teaching style and be an addition into your curriculum. Many teachers utilize the program at the end of the year as a final recap. However, teachers also utilize the simulations as a midterm, class long project, or even a recap at the start of the new year.
We have worked hard with business education departments to be sure that our simulations align with the core standards for each class subject and level.
You will be provided with a grading structure and rubric to assist in measuring the outcome of the students work. You will also be provided with answer keys to check against the students final recap.
Our Annual plan provides each student with their own personal simulation packet to keep at the end of the program. Their login credentials will also remain active after completing the program if the student wanted to access the software at another time.
Note: Our License plan requires students to turn in their simulation packet at the end of the program.
All students are required to have their own software license and these licenses can not be used by multiple students or reused after the program has been started.
The Crunched Education Program simulations can be accessed from any computer on any main web browser.

Once you receive your program materials, you will be given access to our Teacher Portal. Here you will be able to download additional source documents as well as additional teacher resources.
If you have chosen our Annual plan and end up with unused simulation packets at the end of the year, you can send them back to us and we will apply a credit towards your next order.
Note: This does not apply to the License plan.
If you aren't able to access the software, please contact us immediately so we can work with your IT department to be sure there are no firewalls and blockers preventing access to the Crunched software.
Orders are typically processed within 24 hours after receiving a PO or payment and then shipped out within 24 hours of the order being processed. The total turn around time is typically within 48 hours.
If your student is receiving an error message stating their username or password is incorrect, please check their simulation packet ID with your class roster sheet to be sure all characters are getting entered correctly. If the student is still unable to login, please contact support at (617) 960-0778 ext. 3 or notify your account executive right away.
