Arizonans for Recess

Arizonans for Recess advocates for recess policy and practices that place a high value on student access to recess and physical activity.

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.

Happy 4th anniversary to Arizona’s school recess law!

[Arizonans for Recess @AZforRecess]

Governor has signed #SB1083, setting a fair 2-recess/day minimum standard for K-5. Thank you @dougducey for your commitment to promoting student physical activity and school wellness. @arizonapta @azhpe @MommyLobbyAZ @AzSCA @azpha @ArizonaEA @azedschools

@williamdoylenyc Research indicates homework is of low to no value in elementary school whereas recess is high value. Taking away recess, especially over homework, is a poor practice. Professional development issue.

@arizonapbs @Supt_Hoffman Guidance recommends closing playgrounds. Classrooms are OK but outside isn’t? How’s that? Please don’t send kids back to school without play breaks.
