What People Are Saying:

We used to think we didn’t have time... turns out we didn’t have the right tools. As a classroom teacher with barely a moment to breathe during the day, I didn’t think I could take on more. But this course didn’t add to my plate it reorganized what was already there. The practical strategies helped us build consistency across staff without constant meetings. The difference on the playground has been incredible.

— Kim S., Grade 4 Teacher

Empowering, thoughtful, and deeply needed. As a new teacher, recess duty felt overwhelming at first. This course gave me tools and language to handle situations I used to avoid. I appreciated that it didn’t just focus on behavior, but looked at inclusion, sensory needs, and emotional safety too. I feel more prepared—and more hopeful.

— Noah W., Grade 6 Teacher

Simple changes, big difference! I loved the balance between theory and real examples. The facilitator guide helped our team rethink our supervision roles, and the game rotation ideas made recess smoother. Our students are noticeably more engaged and conflicts are fewer. We’re planning to train all lunch staff with this next.
