<p>Tune in to this re-release of a hidden gem that opened Season 3 of Help Teach, where we dissect the nuts and bolts of inclusive playgrounds, from funding to construction, and discuss the importance of both free play and universal design for young people of all abilities.</p><p>Join Mihai and Melissa as they explain how crucial inclusive (not "accessible"!) playground equipment can be for young learners. They offer recommendations for teachers on how to advocate for, fund, and construct these structures so that as many students as possible can experience free play, regardless of their abilities.

<p>Enjoy this re-release of one of most popular episodes from the Help Teach vault. In December, 2024, Mihai reconnected with his elementary school principal John McMahon to discuss how teachers can help their students of all abilities discover their potential through an arts-infused education.</p><p>Join Mihai and John McMahon as they reminisce on old times and tell inspiring stories of students whose lives were forever changed after being empowered to take an active role in their early education through the arts. This discussion on creative and critical thinking, building relationships, and striving to see the best in one another is sure to leave you gladdened, at the least, and hopefully even inspired to act.

<p>In this episode, we discuss recovery after Post Concussion Syndrome and the importance of access to the classroom, even when it seems impossible.</p><p>Join Mihai and debut author Paulina Turczynska as they discuss the long and little-known road to recovery faced by those suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome. They share stories about making one's own adventures while stuck in bed, talk about pursuing ambitions despite life being put on pause, and remind teachers that the best solutions to unusual problems are often found when you choose not to go by the letter. </p><p><a href="https://paulinaturczynska.com">Letters from a Concussed Girl - Paulina Turczynska</a><br> <a href="https://www.tdsb.on.ca/portals/0/elementary/docs/SupportingYou/Concussions%20ProcedurePR712.pdf">Toronto District School Board Concussion Procedure PR712</a><br><a href="https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/practitioner-pro/bc-guidelines/concussion-mbti-appendix-b.pdf">BC Guidelines Appendix B: Return to School Protocol</a></p><p><a href="https://discord.gg/FMEBKmdzsA">Help Teach Discord</a></p>
