SETSI - LAUREN MCNAMARA, PhD FOUNDER OF SCHOOLYARDS FOR THOUGHT

INTERVIEW WITH LAUREN MCNAMARA, PhD | FOUNDER OF SCHOOLYARDS FOR THOUGHT Lauren’s goal is to transform the long-neglected, barren spaces of recess into an opportunity for supporting play, friendships, social connection and empathy. The Recess Project provides training and resources to administrators, principals, teachers and students to radically transform how schools approach recess. She encourages schools to ramp up the support and design of this space and provide a continuum of options and materials that allow students to experience the effects of acceptance, inclusion and social connection through activities that are meaningful and enjoyable. Students are provided opportunities to mentor in the Junior Recess Leader training. It teaches them about the power of kindness, empathy and role modeling. The rotating menu of suggested games and activities gets kids engaged and laughing — something we tend to undervalue in schools.
