What is the Recess Enrichment Program?
Recess Revamp: an Organized Sustainable Recess Solution for Your School
Recess Revamp is proprietary to CORE Athletics. By employing Social and Emotional Learning tactics, Recess Revamp exposes students to the joys, excitement, and benefits of being physically active in a safe and fun learning environment while also developing critical social skills such as appropriate interactions, teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution.
Through the guidance and mentorship of CORE Coaches, Recess Revamp empowers students and faculty to co-create a thriving recess culture built on trust, collaboration, responsible decision making, and educational excellence.
Why Do a Recess Revamp at Your School?
The Current Recess & Physical Education Landscape
Over the past 2.5 years, students have experienced unprecedented circumstances that altered the traditional in-person learning environment and interfered with formative social experiences. As an extension of the classroom learning experience, Recess is a critical part of a child’s social and emotional development process, providing supplementary opportunities to learn and develop across a spectrum: physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
Cut Backs in Physical Education Prove detrimental to Child Development
As students return to school, cutbacks and reductions to Recess and Physical Education programs are occurring. This could not come at a worse time as there is no doubt that physical activity and fitness are important for the healthy development of a child.
““Exercise, games, time outdoors and other hallmarks of PE can play a key role in helping students readjust to in-person school, especially after a year that’s left many students stressed and out of shape.” ”
Addressing the Social Challenges of Recess
Recess can present social challenges for children. Without insightful adult supervision and oversight, Recess can become an exclusionary, unfair, and uncomfortable environment for some children.
The result: social anxiety, a decrease in self-esteem and confidence, and other adverse developmental effects.
“Kids learn important communication skills during recess with situations that require cooperation, problem solving, negotiation, and compromise. Furthermore, adaptation and coping skills, including perseverance and self-control, are required during these interactions. ”
