The PLAYground Project: An Educational Curriculum Using Playground Equipment
This presentation features an overview and research results of the PLAYground (Play and Learning Activities for Youth) project. The PLAYground project was a large research trial that assessed the implementation and effectiveness of integrating the PlayOn! playground curriculum in afterschool programs in a large school district outside of Phoenix, Arizona. In partnership with PlayCore, researchers from Arizona State University adapted the PlayOn! curriculum to include a social-emotional learning focus, trained staff to integrate the curriculum, worked with school partners and experts from PlayCore to redesign school playgrounds, and measured the impact of using the curriculum on children’s physical movement and social-emotional skills. Learn more about the results of the project and strategies to implement the curriculum in other playground settings.
- Identify the value of play and playgrounds in afterschool settings.
- Describe basic social-emotional learning competencies.
- Explain the basic components of a playground activity from the PlayOn! curriculum.
- Analyze the student outcomes related to implementing the PlayOn! Playground curriculum in afterschool settings.
