| description | "The Playful Classroom offers a fresh perspective on the traditional classroom and will equip, encourage, and empower educators of all levels to provide relevant, meaningful, and fun experiences to their students through a playful mindset. The authors believe bringing play into the classroom positively contributes to creativity, trust, relationships, community, and growth. Building on current and seminal works in learning theory and play pedagogy, this book is a tapestry, intentionally weaving both pragmatic and creative lenses. The ideals that are essential to great teaching transcend time. It's not the technology, it's not the latest gimmick, it's not the biggest, shiniest school or the amount of applause for your work. This book offers practical strategies and solutions for the educator who knows something is missing in their classroom culture. Additional resources such as video and downloadable resources will be available for educators on the authors' websites"-- |
