PressPlay provides a range of asynchronous resources and "live" learning opportunities tailored to support educators at various stages of implementing play-based pedagogy. Key features include:
Curated pathways focusing on specific aspects of play, such as assessment, curriculum integration, and learning environments.
Access to over 100 video provocations accompanied by reflection questions to stimulate discussion and deepen understanding.
Contributions from leading figures in the field, including Kym Scott and Becky Carlzon, offering practical guidance and support.
Curated, hyperlinked Learning Journeys enable you and your team to focus on the areas of play you most want to develop systematically over time. We have over 30 different Learning Journeys for you to choose from ranging from practical pedagogy like language and interactions, setting up learning environments for play and playful maths; to bigger picture thinking, like self-directed learning, leadership in play and how to be more playful as an adult.
"Being part of the PressPlay community has been exactly what we needed to drive our whole-school vision for play and inquiry-based learning to be at the heart of our curriculum. The incredible variety of speakers has meant we are able to explore different elements from a wide range of perspectives and collaborate with one another to implement strategies in line with our ethos."
“Rooted in inquiry, PressPlay invites and provokes insights and practices with and from motivating researchers, inspiring consultants and experienced practitioners to curate a space to wonder, reflect and enhance pedagogy. In my 3rd year as a member of PressPlay, I continue to question, deepen and broaden my understanding of play and playful learning because of the exchanges that take place.”
What if there were a place where you could connect with like-minds, sharing ideas and strategies to move forwards and gain a plethora of inspiration from your favourite playful thought leaders?
