Chapter 3 introduces a four-corners, step-by-step approach to managing indoor recess. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 explain how to accommodate different play styles and interests by creating special areas that are stocked with rainy day activities (engrossing games, creative pursuits, and quiet activities). Chapter 7 discusses a special area of the room, called the time-out corner, where children who have temporarily lost control of themselves can regain composure with dignity. Chapter 8 explains how the teacher can introduce the new system to students, monitor implementation, and correct any problems. Chapter 9 provides a variety of ideas for additional activity areas, with suggestions for their location, setup, and use.

Download or read book Rethinking Recess written by Rebecca London and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rethinking Recess, sociologist Rebecca A. London argues that recess has been overlooked as an essential part of the elementary school experience, with major implications for how well schools serve all students equitably and responsively. Given its potential to support students' social and emotional learning and physical activity, London says, recess should be designed intentionally, with attention to safety, health, and engagement. The book shows how school leaders and other educators--even those with budget and space constraints--can make the most of recess time by using a variety of proven strategies, and also provides examples of schools that have put these strategies to use. Taking organizational steps to create a well‐designed recess can engage students, improve school climate, build valuable social and emotional skills, reduce behavioral incidents, and promote healthy lifestyles. Meticulously researched and filled with practical and often easy‐to‐implement changes for recess policies and practice, this book provides a critical resource for school leaders and others looking to make every aspect of school a positive one for students. "All children have the right to equitable and inclusive access to recess as a foundation of development. Rethinking Recess offers a compelling case for 'organized recess, ' describing the important role of organized play to promote wellness, strengthen school culture, and enhance social and emotional learning. This book is a call to action for the well-being of our children and society." --Mary Ann Dewan, Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools "This important book illustrates how a well-organized and universally available recess can provide developmental spaces for students that improve school climate and foster social and emotional learning. Rethinking Recess documents inequities in access to recess, illustrates how schools can organize safe and supportive recess, and provides practical guidance for policy makers." --David Osher, vice president and institute fellow, American Institutes for Research Rebecca A. London is a faculty member in the Sociology Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Download or read book Little Bones written by David Baillie and published by ChiZine Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamilton, Ontario, 1953. A nine-year-old boy meets with a horrific death at the hands of a sociopath; his little body is then hidden away in a soon-to-be-sealed tenement coal chute where it lies for two decades. The remains, discovered by contractors rerouting a pipe in 1974, make for sensational news; the fact that ten small bones are missing causes further speculation. But interest in the cold case fades quickly—except in the imagination of a tragically lonely boy named Scott Campbell, a resident of that sad building who suffers (equally) from undiagnosed Selective Mutism and the terrible neglect of his mentally ill mother. In the building’s furnace room, Scotty meets his one and only friend: a child’s playful, coal-black shadow that follows him through a litany of foster homes and into adulthood. Now, in 1987, thirteen years after the discovery of those remains, Scotty is an enigmatic street artist who makes strange sculptures out of found objects, which he leaves in the forgotten and overlooked corners of the city. Scotty’s social worker, Simon, despairs over Scotty’s plight: the mute will soon be completely on his own, for he aged out of government-sponsored aid almost two years ago and is now living on the remnants of a miracle extension arranged by Simon’s boss. Simon also has his own dilemma: as a Mohawk with invested interest in the Six Nations of the Grand River, he feels like he is betraying his own community by working for the government-funded Children’s Aid Society in Hamilton. Caught between pressure at home and the impending end of Scotty’s meagre support, Simon is losing faith in both the System and himself. Little Bones is a heart-rending tale of loss, redemption, and the cruel consequences of investing in that most beautiful of lies—hope.

Download or read book DisAppearing written by Tanya Titchkosky and published by Canadian Scholars. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DisAppearing offers a relational orientation to disability studies. From encounters with disability and disabled people in educational settings from elementary school to university, in novels and other texts, in hospitals and policing, in dance, on the street, and in community centres, as well as in considerations of injury and healing, and life and death, the chapters in this collection explore a variety of cultural scenes of disability. By doing so, this collection reveals what disability can mean through scenes of its dis/ appearance and demonstrates how to remake these meanings in more life-affirming ways. Encouraging critical engagement with how disability is noticed and lived, the many chapters, as well as poetry, narrative, and a podcast transcript, reveal the meaning of disability appearing and disappearing in everyday life and beyond. Bringing together the work of scholars, artists, and activists, many of whom identify as disabled, DisAppearing encourages students to approach disability differently and to reimagine its appearance in the world. Engaging, political, artistic, and philosophical, this text, with an emphasis on the Canadian context, is an invaluable resource for disability studies students and instructors.
