NCTIES2023

Our digital teaching and learning team has been hard at work building up the social emotional capacity to increase student achievement as well as create a safe space for dialogue to strengthen digital citizenship. Participants will investigate the Casel SEL Framework with a self assessment that they will apply to find direction in first steps to provide services and design experiences for students. I will share our school wide digital citizenship initiative that we have successfully implemented to truly connect students with authentic conversations to help students reduce digital drama. Our session will focus on digital life balance, conflict resolution, digital footprint, family dialogue and community support. In the past we have focused solely on anti-bullying tactics with technology, but have found that students needed more tools to be better digital citizens to have foundational life skills as productive members of our learning community. Attendees will leave the session with premade and editable resources that they can take and utilize in their school. My goal is to grow in this area in the coming years and having a network of attendees to learn and grow with will make our impact much stronger.
