Playground Supervisor Course
The Peaceful Playgrounds Online Playground Supervisor Training is designed to introduce administrators, teachers, substitute teachers, physical educators, parents, after school personnel, and playground supervisors to the responsibilities and techniques associated with keeping children safe on a playground.
This online course will serve as a certified professional development experience.
This course details playground surfacing, play structure safety, and playground supervision.
The course highlights legal supervision responsibilities and “how to keep kids safe”.
Playground supervisor competency is an important factor to ensure good supervision. Adults do not automatically have the skills necessary to appropriately supervise students at play on a school playground. Well trained playground supervisors who know how to do the right things the right way at the right time are the best defense against litigation.
“My Para professionals just completed the training provided by Peaceful Playgrounds. We found the information comprehensive and helpful. The training helped to allow all the Para professionals to fully understand the way to supervise the playground and bring continuity to all three recess periods.” – Cherie McComb, Principal
“The course provides facts and information that are valuable for all playground supervisors to keep in mind. The list of playground responsibilities and procedures for dealing with behavior problems are helpful and would be a good base of knowledge for anyone new to playground supervision.” – Nancy Goettl, Playground Supervisor
Participants passing the exam at the end of the course will receive a Playground Supervisor Completion Certification.
