Recess Before Lunch- Five Steps to Success
|
Your first webinar free through Dec. 31, 2008.
 FREE WEBINAR- Friday, December 5 - 10:00 AM PST - Free registration for this date!
A few brave principals across the nation are bringing a long standing school tradition to an end. They are advocating Recess Before Lunch. Recent research shows the number of schools implementing Recess before Lunch is rapidly growing.
Kids
eat more, waste less food, return to class calmer, behave better and as
a result, instruction time is increased. Sounds great but implementing
Recess Before Lunch can be tricky.
Attend this free webinar where we share 5 steps to prepare staff, students and parents for successful implementation.
