Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Participants will learn:
1. How to promote and advance digital citizenship not just during Digital Citizenship Week by learning how presenters engage students in daily digital citizenship practices that are aligned to the school's systems in place such as morning assemblies, awards assemblies, in addition to integration of digital citizenship in online instruction.
2. Engage partners and parents/families by providing workshops and webinars geared towards tech balance and family engagement.
3. Empower district and school administrators in embedding digital citizenship in their instructional and operational leadership at their schools.

Outline

In this panel that represents a broad range of roles and contexts , presenters will take turns unpacking the ISTE Standard that directly relate to their role/context and give real-life examples backed by multimedia artifacts and articulate the process of their digital citizenship implementation and the impact it has on their stakeholders.
Next, presenters will highlight the multi-tiered and calibrated approach to digital citizenship by making connections between each of the roles/contexts and how they all come into play at the school, thereby providing a common understanding of digital citizenship especially at a time when parents and families are now directly involved and participating in their child's classroom experiences.
Lastly, the presenters will tie it altogether by bringing it back to the ISTE Standards and heatmapping where in the district the individual sub-indicators of each standard have been implemented and identifying areas of growth as well as next steps to replicate and scale those strategies and practices that currently work in the presenters' contexts.

Supporting research

The Digital Citizenship Handbook for School Leaders by Mike Ribble and Marty Park. This book was the focus of our book study prior to the school closures in March 2020 and helped us plan for emergency remote instruction. As we continued on with this at the end of the school year, we made a conscious decision that for this new school year, our theme and focus for our pilot schools will be "Digital Citizen," hence strategies and resources for DigCit all year long and not just during DigCit Week in October.
