Revamp The Recess Experience & Build Better Play Time!
What is the Recess Enrichment Program?
an Organized Sustainable Recess Solution for Your School
CORE’s Recess Enrichment experience 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 respectful communication, teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution.
Through utilization of Social and Emotional Learning tactics and the guidance of CORE Coaches, our Recess Enrichment empowers students and faculty to co-create a thriving recess culture built on trust, collaboration, responsible decision making, and educational excellence.
Why Implement Recess Enrichment at Your School?
The Current Recess & Physical Education Landscape
Since the COVID Pandemic, students have faced unprecedented circumstances that altered the traditional in-person learning environment and interfered with formative social experiences, including Recess and Physical Education programs. As an extension of the classroom, Recess is a critical part of a child’s social and emotional development, providing supplementary opportunities to learn and grow: physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
“The excessive use of screens during the pandemic led to numerous consequences for children and adolescents, with a higher incidence of visual damage, sedentary lifestyle, inadequate eating habits and increased weight gain, in addition to impaired sleep quality and mental health.”
The increase in screen time, due to remote learning, has also undermined children’s development. As students spend more of their day using technology, they face an increased likelihood of a variety of developmental problems.
““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.” ”
Recess can present social challenges for children. Without adult supervision and oversight, Recess can become an unfair, exclusionary, and unsafe environment. 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. ”
