Free Webinar – The Value of Recess

Contrary to the belief by many administrators have that recess takes away instruction time from students; recess can in fact help raise test scores. We will discuss that recess is a contributing factor for cultural exchange, opportunity for solitary play, can serve as an outlet for reducing or lowering the child’s anxiety, and gives the classroom teacher an opportunity to assess the child’s peer social skills.
