On Thursday, February 27, 2014 Playworks will be presenting Powerful Play: How Recess Can Improve School Climate at 3 pm at the 12th Annual NorthWest PBIS Conference at the Red Lion Inn on the River in Portland, OR. This session will demonstrate techniques for positive play, group management, self-regulated conflict resolution and inclusive activities. We will also discuss how a PBIS school saw immediate results after implementing the a Playworks recess. Participants will learn the same way kids do: by playing games! Be sure to wear clothes you can move in and comfortable shoes. Water bottles are recommended. Join us and have some fun!
