This report is a collaboration between the Alliance for Childhood and the US Play Coalition acknowledging that while play is making a come-back, we still need rapid, wide-spread progress to avoid additional suffering from play deprivation and to heal children already suffering from it.  #play #DAP #playwork #outside #movement #recess

The purpose of the paper is to explore the current state of recess, identify best recess practices and disseminate effective ways to advocate for recess. #recess #play #outside #movement #teaching
