Leverage the power of play for positive school culture and a more engaging school day!
We all crave spaces where we feel included, connected, and safe; play and recess have the power to connect children to school, to each other, and to the educators in the building. As our state and schools grapple with chronic absenteeism, historically low test scores, low student engagement, and a growing mental health crisis, we need simple, effective solutions.
Join us as we share a select few best practices and resources to share with your school community:
- 3 Simple strategies to share with recess supervisors looking to facilitate a safe and engaging recess
- The benefits of play and the state of play for kids today
- A playbook full of play, games, and strategies to try
This webinar will introduce participants to the concept of a high quality recess and how recess and play in the classroom can be leveraged to create a positive school climate and get kids to school consistently. Getting back to basics and incorporating more play into the school day has immense benefits for children and requires relatively little staff capacity to implement.
