“Our teachers get back so many hours”

I’m a principal who believes recess is an important time for our students to release the energy, socialize and have fun. Unfortunately, recess can be a time of conflict that often spills over into the classroom. Teachers spend a lot of time trying to resolve issues that have nothing to do with class work.

We are so excited that Playworks offers a model for conflict resolution through structured, organized and safe play. Our teachers get back so many hours of instruction time because they do not have to interrupt the lesson to deal with student behavior. All of that is dealt with on the playground.
