Active Play and Learning

03/02/2016

When times are easy and there’s plenty to go around, individual species can go it alone. But when conditions are harsh and life is tenuous, it takes a team sworn to reciprocity to keep life going forward...So say the lichens.

In the segment "Music, Movement and Active Play," in the new Exchange video training product Addressing Challenging Behaviors: Promoting Social and Emotional Health in Young Children, early childhood experts Dan Gartrell, Peter Pizzolongo, Sandra Heidemann, Daniel Hodgins, Tanya Hollings, Thomas Moore. Kristie Ibraheem and Steve Gross talk about the importance of active play. Dan Gartrell opens the discussion by noting...

"When teachers make their programs more physically active,
when they increase activity levels,
when they do more individual choice activities,
when they do more things in small groups...
you start to have a program that is more developmentally appropriate for a broader span of students."
