La récréation a un impact important sur les enfants et des jeunes. La récréation est un aspect fondamental d’un environnement de retour à l’école positif, dans lequel les élèves seront amenés à s’épanouir, apprendre, et jouer. #ParlonsRécréation @Recessprojectca @RecessAlliance

When children return to school, we must ensure they have right to recess that is meaningful, playful and inclusive. Here is my @ConversationEDU essay w/ @LaurenMcPhD explaining why? theconversation.com/kids-wil… @RecessAlliance @MichaelFullan1 @HargreavesBC
Kids will need recess more than ever when returning to school post-coronavirus

Kids will need recess more than ever when returning to school post-coronavirus

Global experts in child development say recess will be critical for children’s well-being when schools reopen, so education authorities should see planning recess as a high priority.

Yep adults can decide when and where they'd like a break from employment/office work etc. Yet kids often don't make these decisions during a busy working day. #recess powerful time @weplaychat

#weplaychat Good call. I advocate for 3 hours. 1- One hour throughout the day to break up structured tasks; 2- one hour of recess (separate from lunch); 3- one hour screen free play at home/neighborhood after school: player.fm/series/the-ikea-au…
