A newly formed group of scholars, health professionals, and education leaders, argues that attention to recess during school reopening is essential. Recess is the only unstructured time in the school day that provides space for children’s physical, social and emotional development, which are essential for well-being and learning.
When schools reopen, children will need space to heal from their collective trauma.
Recess Planning for School Re-opening
Dr. Lauren McNamara, a member of the Ontario Healthy Schools Coalition, is a key figure in the development of the Global Recess Alliance.
