How to Get Anyone On Board With Play! A 3 Part Training!

 

You know play is learning. You see it every single day.

But getting the grown-ups around you to see it too? That's a whole different challenge.

Maybe parents are asking for worksheets. Maybe your co-teacher still does a 20-minute calendar time. Maybe your director doesn't understand why your classroom doesn't look like the one down the hall where children are quiet and sitting still.

This course was built for exactly these moments when you just want to pull your hair out and yell at everyone about what is actually DAP.


WHAT'S WAITING INSIDE:

Three Video Trainings with PD certificates (1 hour each)

Training 1: Play Influence The four stories and anecdotes that change how people think about play — including the NASA creativity study, the Hole in the Wall experiment, and the polar bear and the sled dog. These are the stories I've used hundreds of times. Now they're yours.

Training 2: How to Get Others On Board with Play The psychology behind why people resist change — and the simple strategies (borrowed from hostage negotiators and behavior researchers) that actually work. You'll learn how to build trust, make stepping stones, and concentrate your message so it lands.

Training 3: Making Learning Visible Documentation isn't just paperwork. It's your most powerful advocacy tool. I'll walk you through the systems I used in my own program to prove — to parents, staff, and myself — that play is learning.

The Play Advocate's Playbook (Full Ebook) Everything from the three trainings, distilled into one resource you can return to again and again. Packed with the exact stories, strategies, and documentation techniques covered in the videos — plus resources, recommended reading, and more.


You really need this course if:

  • Parents keep asking when you're going to "actually teach" something
  • You believe in play but struggle to put it into words for the adults around you
  • You have a co-teacher, director, or administrator who isn't on board yet
  • You're tired of feeling like you have to defend what you do every day
  • You want practical tools, not just theory

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

  • The four most powerful stories for explaining why play is learning — ready to use in tours, meetings, and conversations
  • A simple, psychology-backed framework for changing minds without triggering resistance
  • Documentation strategies that make learning visible to even the most skeptical grown-up in the room
  • Confidence in your role as the expert in child development in your space

This is everything I wish I'd had when I first opened my play-based program and stood in front of a room full of skeptical parents.

You don't have to convince everyone. You don't have to over-explain or prove yourself. You just need the right stories, the right strategies, and a way to show what's actually happening in your space.

That's exactly what this course gives you.
