Recess and play are SEL. They help decrease aggressive and off task behavior as well as decease anxiety and depression . They increase self regulation of emotions and improve academic performance! Let them play!
Maybe if we rename recess and free play as "SEL", creativity, and innovation building time we might realize that they're foundational to learning and not a break from it.
Teacher effectiveness is not greatly improved by curriculum, new programs, or initiatives. But, when teachers are respected, valued, supported, & feel like their talents are utilized, then morale increases, job engagement soars, & students benefit too!
Our students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, along with extracurricular activities. That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority. Which will also improve academics!
