💻 Technology in schools should serve a clear purpose, support human-led instruction, and keep student well-being at the center of learning. Schools and families are asking important questions about AI, devices, screen time, privacy, and safety. Common Sense Media's new Tech in Schools Toolkit offers free resources to help communities make thoughtful, developmentally appropriate decisions about technology use. The toolkit includes age-and-stage guidance, tools for defining the purpose of technology use, and materials to help schools and families communicate about what works best for their students. ⬇️ Explore the free resource here.
How can families, teachers, and education leaders get aligned on what kinds of tech should or shouldn’t be allowed in their schools? In response to the rapid adoption of technology at home and in schools, we’re thrilled to release our Tech in Schools Toolkit–a collection of free resources to support families, educators, and district leaders to make thoughtful, developmentally appropriate decisions about technology use in the classroom. We built the toolkit around three foundational principles: - Age and Stage: best practices based on developmental stages. - Define and Determine Intentions: identifying how students are using different devices and software for learning. - Educate and Communicate: a key resource for adult stakeholders to feel aligned and empowered to discuss the approach that best fits their students' needs.

What do adolescent readers need when the text gets harder? In middle school, students encounter denser sentences, more specialized vocabulary, and texts that ask them to hold onto ideas across longer stretches of reading. At the same time, they’re still developing the attention, planning, and self-regulation those tasks call for. Supporting adolescent readers means keeping them connected to grade-level text while paying close attention to what may be getting in the way. That might mean building fluency with texts students are already studying, spending more time unpacking a complex sentence, or treating vocabulary as part of the knowledge students are building rather than a list of words to memorize. This work extends beyond classrooms, too. School and district leaders have a role in protecting intervention time, using data to understand where support is needed, and giving teachers professional learning that connects to the literacy work in front of them. 📚 Our new ebook takes a closer look at these ideas.

What does the Science of Reading look like in a middle school classroom? It can look like making time for students to: ✔️ Listen closely to key passages so they can work through complex language and ideas. ✔️ Sketch or diagram what they’re reading to make their thinking visible. ✔️ Practice oral reading fluency with texts that are part of their learning. ✔️ Write about what they understand as they read. These routines give middle school students different ways to process a text while giving teachers opportunities to see what students understand and where they may need support. The Science of Reading can inform these everyday instructional choices as students work with increasingly complex, grade-level text. 📚 Explore more resources for middle school literacy instruction: https://lnkd.in/euVWee2Y.
