Building a Cohesive Digital Wellbeing Framework with MTSS

Leaders explore how to use a whole-school approach to Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) to promote digital wellbeing. They learn how to integrate strategies into existing structures, align policies on the use of digital and AI-powered tools, and address diverse student needs. Leaders leave with actionable steps to create a sustainable framework for healthy digital engagement. 

Tier 1 Classroom Strategies for Digital Wellbeing

In this workshop, teachers are prepared to promote digital wellbeing during health classes, advisories, and other student support settings. Teachers learn Tier 1 strategies to help all students manage screen time, engage responsibly online, and balance digital and in-person interactions. The workshop emphasizes safe, supportive spaces where students can reflect on their digital lives and practice skills for positive wellbeing.

Integrating Media Literacy Across the Curriculum

Educators across content areas are guided in how to harness media literacy instructional practices for their curriculum, helping students learn how media shapes their worldview. The workshop offers practical ways to unpack the social and cultural implications of media, including AI, across subjects from math and science to social studies, language arts, and health, empowering students to make informed choices.

Supporting Student Voice and Wellbeing in The Classroom

Research shows that promoting student voice—the ability to think critically, speak and act with conviction, and advocate for personal and communal needs—increases engagement, confidence, and wellbeing. Drawing on decades of work with inquiry-based learning and youth media making, this workshop helps educators create opportunities to promote student voice while advancing instructional goals.

Media Literacy in Support of Civic Education Projects 

With civics increasingly mandated across K-12 education, educators need high-quality resources to enrich civic instruction in a media-saturated world. Media literacy is foundational for robust civic education, equipping students with skills around critical thinking, analysis, and media creation to make informed decisions and take action in their communities.

Learning & the Media Landscape

As new polices restrict students’ phones and personal devices, educators have an opportunity to examine media experiences and their impact on learning. Drawing on current research, this workshop focuses on how media shapes students’ understanding, perspectives, and wellbeing, revealing how media literacy practices can mitigate negative influences while empowering healthy choices and creative expression.
