Description: "An inclusive approach to education is not confined to the classroom. The school playground is where the real test for diversity and difference occurs, and a focus on play during break times is needed for the health, well-being and learning of all students. This book explores pre-school, primary and secondary school play environments as well as transitions between them, and foregrounds the impact of physical environments and adult involvement on choices for play. Grounded in both practical experience and theory, it includes discussion questions, case studies, breakout boxes and a 'Playground Audit' that can be used to plan for change and build positive playground experiences for all students"--
