Oregon SB1596 allows play-based learning to count as instructional time for kindergarten through fifth-grade students.
Oregon SB1596 mandates that play-based learning be recognized as instructional time for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. This bill defines "play-based learning" as activities that emphasize free play or guided play, using developmentally appropriate strategies. The State Board of Education must integrate these play-based learning activities into their rules for instructional time. This change aims to incorporate more engaging and child-directed learning methods into the school curriculum.
