We are entering a new era where the concept of digital citizenship should not be separated from a school’s vision and mission. Digital Citizenship and Restorative Practices can be integrated and implemented across the curriculum and ALL grade levels. The integration of Digital Citizenship with Restorative Practices addresses ISTE Essential Condition #1 which calls for a shared vision for educational technology. Teachers, students, staff and families can incorporate Digital Citizenship as part of their shared vision and School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Plan (SWPBIS). The integration of Digital Citizenship into the school’s SWPBIS plan also addresses ISTE Essential Condition #12 which requires support policies that promote the use of digital tools and resources for both learning and district/school operations. Through Restorative Practices and promoting Digital Citizenship both inside and outside the classroom, schools will be able to simultaneously address student learning and positive behavior.
