What You Get With The Reimagining Recess PD Workshop

This is more than just a workshop; it's a complete, school-wide system for transforming your playground from a source of stress into a powerful place of learning and growth.

The Results You Can Expect:

When you implement the Reimagining Recess system, you will see a tangible, school-wide shift. You can expect:

• A Drastic Reduction in Playground Incidents: Fewer conflicts, less tattling, and a significant drop in office referrals related to recess.

• A Calmer, Less-Stressed Staff: Your team will feel confident and aligned with a unified, consistent plan for managing the playground, ending yard-duty fatigue.

• More Instructional Time: Students will return to the classroom regulated and ready to learn, giving you back valuable teaching time that was previously spent on post-recess problem-solving.

• A More Inclusive Playground: A culture where every type of student—the athletic, the quiet, the creative—feels safe, seen, and engaged.

• Empowered Students: Children will learn and actively use conflict-resolution skills, solving minor problems on their own without adult intervention.
