“The opposite of play is not work — it is depression.” - Dr. Stuart Brown Did you know that higher education students are more engaged and motivated when they are taught using playful pedagogy rather than the traditional lecture-based method? Did you also know that play increases positive emotions and connections with other students and the professor? Some not-so-fun facts: ▸51,000 educators left the profession in June 2023, and more than half of teachers – regardless of age or years in the classroom – say they're thinking about leaving the profession. ▸35% of U.S. college or university teachers said they very often or always feel burned out at work. ▸34.2% of students with a mental health condition said their college did not know about their crisis. ▸64% of students are no longer pursuing their college degree due to mental health issues. ▸21.6% of college students said depression impacted their studies. ▸95% of college counselors report that mental health concern is growing on their campus. How might we increase upper secondary and higher education learner and educator recruitment, retention, wellness and success by incorporating play, games, fun and joy into teaching and learning? Join me, with David Thomas and Lisa Forbes, PhD, LPC, RPT from Professors at Play, in welcoming the legendary Dr. Stuart Brown, founder of THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR PLAY, as the keynote speaker for Playposium 2024! Playposium 2024 is an event focused on playful teaching, course design and curriculum design in the higher education classroom. We invite all playful (and play-curious) professors, department chairs, deans, instructional design staff and teaching and learning professionals to join us. If you’re passionate about improving student learning and success, join us to discover why play is the new student success superpower. See you there!
