Digital Citizenship

Wentworth School’s commitment to help students be good digital citizens begins with our educators. As adults, we have the skills and knowledge to practice responsible, safe, and respectful use of technology. Our students do not comprehend the potential risks that accompany the use of technology. Our in-school tech use is heavily monitored and modeled by classroom and support staff, but there are times that students must make decisions and be accountable for their independent actions. Our staff have been trained in how to use technology to transform learning, and recognize that digital literacy and citizenship skills go hand-in-hand with this.

Wentworth School is committed to building a strong and solid foundation of digital citizenship, in an effort to help our students to develop good habits and practices around technology use. Below are the specific Digital Citizenship lessons are taught at each grade level, and a large part of teaching students to be good digital citizens happens during our lessons that integrate the use of technology across the curriculum.

We are proud to be a Common Sense Media Digital Citizenship Certified School since 2014, as recognized by commonsensemedia.org.
