Episode notes
We’ve all heard of the phrase “play hard, work hard” right? But what if “playing” was part of the “work?”
In this episode, Nancy is joined by two School Specialty Subject Matter Experts, Kathy Decamps (PE) and Jennifer Fernandez (Early Childhood) and dive into the world of Play-Based Learning. Together, they explore what play-based learning looks like across different age groups and highlight its transformative benefits for student engagement, social skills, and cognitive development.
