The current politics of education and social policy in the U.S. often work against children's play. It's important, therefore, that those of us who understand the role of play in children's health and well-being speak up on behalf of play-friendly policies, communities, classrooms, and schools. Join Edward Miller and Joan Almon of the Alliance for Childhood as they lead us through a special presentation. This webinar will focus on the key goals, targets, techniques, obstacles, and potential allies involved in this work. We'll provide a basic toolkit of facts and strategies for how you can become an effective advocate for play.

KaBOOM! has partnered with the Alliance for Childhood to bring you Crisis in the Kindergarten: Why Children Need to Play in School, based on the Alliance's new research report with the same title. Time for play in many kindergartens has dwindled, replaced by lengthy lessons and standardized testing. This webinar, with report authors Joan Almon and Ed Miller, will include recent research findings on just how little time children have available for play and recommendations for creating more playful classrooms.
