Abstract	Preparing future school administrators to engage in effective communication with parents and teachers is a necessary component of master's of educational leadership preparation programs. Mixed reality experiences (i.e., a life-like virtual rehearsal experience) provide students with opportunities to engage in realistic practice in a low risk professional environment where they are given immediate feedback and an opportunity to reflect on the simulation experience. Through this study, researchers examined students' perceived value of the mixed reality experience in developing their conferencing communication skills with parents and teachers. Findings from this study indicated that educational leadership students placed a high value on the mixed reality experience as it related to building their confidence in speaking to parents and teachers. Given the findings from this study, educational leadership programs may want to consider infusing mixed reality experiences into their programs tailored to their specific context to transition from a traditional delivery model to a contemporary model with realistic practice aligned to the needs of schools.
