Professional Development Webinar
NYSRPS and SPEC are pleased to present a professional development webinar for our parks and recreation professionals! Join us on Thursday, November 16th at 11 a.m. as Brittany Cable, SPEC Operations Coordinator, discusses healthy risks for children and what it means for to have a skinned knee on the playground.

Webinar Description: Through positive risky play experiences, children develop essential life skills and prepare themselves for a successful future. Spaces that provide these opportunities, such as strategically designed and placed playgrounds, foster childhood exploration, self-discovery, and resilience. Playgrounds provide places to test limits, work through challenges, and build self-assurance.
*This event is offered free and approved for 0.1 CEUs. NYSRPS will follow up after the event with the process for obtaining CEUs through your registered e-mail.
