Signing up 20% of the most enthusiastic, pro-active members of staff can create a “tipping point” in the whole school implementation of play. As these educators take inspiration from our community and implement ideas into their classrooms and teams, play- based pedagogy and enthusiasm will begin to spread throughout your school. This makes learning with our community a bottom-up and top-down approach, so ideas and practice will stick.
Some schools do choose to sign up their whole staff so that they have a shared journey and message.
We are happy to tailor content and areas of our community to your needs in your team and context. Just fill in our contact form or book in a call to find out more.
We would suggest thinking carefully about who those enthusiastic, “can do” practitioners are. Who is already implementing play? Who is interested but isn’t sure where to start? Try to get a spread across year groups and teams.
You could plan to start with lower primary or KS1, then expand to upper primary once you have gotten going. It really depends on your unique school context.
Please do book a call with Kym or Becky if you would like to discuss this in more detail.
