Questar III BOCES is inviting public library staff who work with children to attend the Incorporating Play for Connection and Belonging into School Libraries workshop on August 7 from at the Questar III BOCES Central Office, 10 Empire State Blvd, Castleton, NY 12033.
Now more than ever students need to feel a sense of safety, connection, and belonging with their fellow students. In an age with so many distractions from social media and the stressors in our world, students need a place they can feel safe and belong. Well-led social play is one of the fastest and most direct ways to build this sense of safety, connection and trust. In this free, in-person event, play expert Howard Moody will teach the tools, games, exercises and processes that can be interwoven into any educational arena. Educators benefit greatly from expanding their “tool kit,” learning kid-tested games and activities that support the social, emotional, and physical needs of all students.
Doors will open at 8:30 am, light refreshments will be included. Public library staff should register for this event using this form. Please contact Maureen Squier at maureen.squier@questar.org or 518-479-6976 with any questions.
