Wauwatosa Montessori School Recess Team

We are a passionate team dedicated to fostering inclusion and positive play. In our project, we aim to work with Playworks experts in trainings and coaching sessions to better understand our role in supporting positive play, deepen our understanding of the importance of play in child development, and learn systems and games to incorporate into non-instructional periods. We believe that every child should enjoy an inclusive and active break time. With grant funding, we can bring the Playworks program to our school.

This project has had a huge impact so far, and it's only the second day of school. 182 students have been reached and engaged in a engaging games during recess times. Our Recess Team staff has put systems and plans in place to set students up for healthy play during the school day. They have also pre-taught positive expectations for recess time, and modeled these expectations. Our 7th and 8th grade students have begun our Junior Coaching program! Our recess equipment is organized, and Playworks staff have shared many resources and strategies with our school staff.

Timeline: We will start our project on Friday, June 23, 2023 and Monday, June 25, 2023. We will meet monthly and more regularly for shorter periods.

The measurable goals for our project include that 175 students will engage the Playworks recess model and that a minimum of 5 staff members will complete at least one Playworks training and one coaching session by the October 2023. We are hoping to spread positive play and grow social emotional skills.
