Episode 42 - Beyond the Swing (Re-Release)
from Help Teach Hosted by Mihai Covaser
Tune in to this re-release of a hidden gem that opened Season 3 of Help Teach, where we dissect the nuts and bolts of inclusive playgrounds, from funding to construction, and discuss the importance of both free play and universal design for young people of all abilities. Join Mihai and Melissa as they explain how crucial inclusive (not "accessible"!) playground equipment can be for young learners. They offer recommendations for teachers on how to advocate for, fund, and construct these structures so that as many students as possible can experience free play, regardless of their abilities.
