This course will share the journey of a school that used a playground audit to make their playground a positive place and a valuable curriculum resource. Data gathering informed the changes which included attitudinal changes by teachers to duty, and most importantly, the active participation of all students in a play-filled
playground.

Take another look at your playground! This is the natural context for developing skills in social competence but, for many students, it is where they are vulnerable and unhappy. It is the place where inclusion is vigorously tested for those students who can manage their behaviour in the classroom but not in the playground.Cost $242.
