- Michael discussed what he learned from attending a webinar, "Implementing Digital Citizenship District-wide" on Monday, 3/24. Presentation slides are in the committee document folder on Google Drive. In the slides is a link to the webinar recording as well. Key learnings:
- they used the Common Sense Media curriculum for K through 12
- developed lesson units, plans, and materials for teachers; field tested the curriculum materials before rolling it out
- extensive PD for teachers
- curriculum was implemented during "tutorial time" (sounds like out X-Block) so that it did not impact academic classes. (Should we think about implementation using X-Block?)
- engaged the community to support the additional curriculum
- reiterated project objective to have a rough draft ready for the May Faculty meeting to briefly introduce (maybe 10 minutes) to faculty; have a mini training at the June meeting (maybe 30 minutes).
- Discussed the current status of the curriculum map that Paula had worked on. With only a few members present there was limited discussion.
- It was decided that between now and next meeting members should review the draft and add content. Where we especially need work to define what sub-topics/lesson units map to specific subject areas/grade levels. We'll need this to provide guidance to teachers.
- Everyone should come to next committee meeting with some ideas of lesson plans/projects and links to resources.
Next Meeting: Wednesday, April 16 at 2:30 in the library.
Does another day work better?
