The Practice of Playful Learning: Supports, Strategies, and Stories from the Classroom

Play is a core resource for how children learn ­­– socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Yet it is not always easy to define playful learning or know how to support it. In this workshop, we’ll offer several key strategies for promoting learning through play, along with classroom-based and virtual pre-k through middle school examples from the Pedagogy of Play research. The workshop will support educators working with learners from pre-K through middle-school.
