Grants to this Grantee
for support of a framework and learning platform to promote safe and healthy play in schools
Playworks is the only national nonprofit focused on play during the school day. Over the next year, Playworks will focus on encouraging adult learning and building the capacity of teachers and principals to support safe and healthy play at their schools by building out and expanding use of two tools: PlayworksU and the Great Recess Framework. This work advances the Education Program’s commitment to equitable education and improving the conditions for teaching and learning.
