This paper describes our efforts in creating SimEd, a simulation of the education system. The longterm aim of this work is to be able to model the types of interactions and interplays that occur between students, teachers and administrators, resulting in a toolkit and a methodology that will allow policy makers on various levels to experiment with their decisions, examining effects over time and across levels. Here, we outline our reasoning for selecting the multi agent system paradigm and the particular techniques chosen. We present details of two components within the SimEd toolkit and show results of experimental simulations executed with each. In constructing these tools, we have begun to identify special attributes of the education environment that set it aside from more typical agent-based application areas, such as e-commerce. We highlight these aspects and discuss current and future work extending agent techniques to accommodate these types of environments.
