The award-winning, evidence-based Recess Project Changemaker's Guide is designed to disrupt the outdated routines that reinforce negative social interaction patterns and replace them with healthy, inclusive, and compassionate interactions that reinforce acceptance and social connection among students.
​
It is the product of a unique research collaboration of school boards, administrators, staff, policymakers, and (most importantly) elementary school students.

In an effort to mobilize change, the 2020 Recess Project Changemaker's Guide is available online at no cost under a Creative Commons license.
