Playground Supervisor Training & Certification
| NEW REDESIGNED RAPID E LEARNING COURSE
|
|
 The Peaceful Playgrounds Online
Playground Supervisor Training is designed to introduce administrators,
teachers, substitute teachers, physical educators, parents, after school
personnel, and playground supervisors to the responsibilities and
techniques associated with keeping children safe on a playground.
This
online course will serve as a certified professional development experience. This course details playground surfacing, play structure safety,
and playground supervision.
The course highlights legal supervision
responsibilities and "how to keep kids safe".
Playground supervisor competency is an important factor to ensure good
supervision.
Adults do not automatically have the skills necessary to appropriately
supervise students at play on a school playground.
Well trained playground supervisors who know how to do the right things
the right way at the right time are the best defense against
litigation. Contact for more information: [email protected]Special discounts for schools and districts. The one hour online course is convenient, inexpensive and can helps supervisors to understand their role and responsibilities."The
course provides facts and information that are valuable for all
playground supervisors. The list of playground
responsibilities and procedures for dealing with behavior problems are
helpful and would be a good base of knowledge for anyone knew to
playground supervision." -Nancy Goettl, Playground Supervisor |
