Description
We are all aware of the importance of play in the healthy development of children, but we may not realize that teachers and administrators can also benefit from play. Play may be the work of young children, but it can also be a way for educators to develop positive relationships with their students and colleagues. Join Naomi Harm, a Genius of Play Ambassador, as she shares ten research-based learning experiences to reinforce the how and why for using free play and why it is essential for the life-work balance of students and educators. Participants will also have an opportunity to design their own playful learning activities that they can immediately use in their schools and classrooms.
