Upgrading Recess to Maximize the Power of Play | Phasha Spencer

Phasha Spencer is the Executive Director of Playworks Illinois, which is part of the national Playworks organization that "helps schools and youth programs create recess and play environments where every child can join in." The company is built around play because... “play teaches us to be human. In fact, societies depend on our ability to ‘play well together.’ Through play, children discover the joy of physical activity. They learn the social and emotional skills they will use in the classroom, in the workplace, and in life.” Read more about Playworks’ philosophy: https://www.playworks.org/about/why-play [https://www.playworks.org/about/why-play] DONATE to support Playworks: https://donate.playworks.org [https://donate.playworks.org] Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamphasha [https://www.instagram.com/iamphasha] https://www.instagram.com/playworksil [https://www.instagram.com/playworksil] https://www.instagram.com/playworksrecess [https://www.instagram.com/playworksrecess] https://www.instagram.com/defineplay [https://www.instagram.com/defineplay] Hosted and filmed by Michael Mirza, with mobile gear contributed by Austin Corbett.
