Principal Sarah McLaughlin has championed prioritizing play and social-emotional learning for her students, even in the time of virtual education. She has stepped in to assist in organizing Class Game Times (CGTs) for all classes and gaining feedback from staff members about curriculum improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond these supports and opportunities, the Frost Elementary \u201cPaws-itive Office Referrals\u201d incentive program has enabled community building across the school. Coach Jeff is able to recognize his students and highlight positive contributions they\u2019re making in their virtual classrooms. This has been a great way for Coach Jeff and other Frost educators to increase the engagement levels of their students.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having to get creative delivering Playworks programming while keeping students safe during the current pandemic, Coach Jeff still finds his daily interactions to be the most exciting part of his job. \u201cThe best part of my workday is anytime I\u2019m interacting with students,\u201d he says. \u201cI always make sure I have my wifi ready to go and as soon as it\u2019s time for class game time, I join the virtual classroom and get started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coach Jeff also gave some best practices when coaching in this new virtual world. \u201cI think one of the best contributing factors to my CGTs is my attitude and enthusiasm mixed with a little bit of theatrics,\u201d he says. \u201cI get super into the games I\u2019m playing, and when teachers are actively participating it makes for much better engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the help of Coach Jeff and his supportive community at Robert Frost Elementary School, children in Lawrence are able to have access to safe and healthy play. A giant whoosh clap for Coach Jeff and the active and caring educators at Robert Frost Elementary School!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playworks New England would like to announce Robert Frost Elementary School as the Most Valuable Partner (MVP) for October!
