Catherine Ramstetter: Why Recess Matters, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Recess is more than "just" playtime.

It is a crucial part of schooling, necessary for nurturing holistic well-being and supporting schools' mission to provide a well-rounded education. This unstructured break fosters imagination and builds collaboration, ingenuity, resilience and critical thinking--skills at the core of emotional regulation. This is the potential of recess.

To realize this potential, all students must experience a quality, safe, playful break. In Why Recess Matters, children's health expert Dr. Catherine Ramstetter presents deeply researched data, playful real-world examples, and simple action steps parents can take to support their child and their schools in designing and delivering the full potential of recess. Educators and parents can work together with the tools provided here to make an impact in the way recess is designed, delivered and experienced, to "do recess better."
