Summary

The contributors toBreaktime and the School, who include educational psychologists, playground designers, advisors and practicing teachers, give an accessible account of the latest research into children's play and behavior, including such issues as playful and aggressive fighting and racism and sexism in the playground. They show how an understanding of this area can inform practical action in designing an environment which encourages positive behavior, in effective management and supervision and in involving the children themselves in decision-making and conflict resolution. Staff in elementary and secondary schools, school officials and educational advisors will find this book essential reading.
