Navigating the Complex Social Media Landscape in Partnership with Our Students
About this Event

Our students' lives are intertwined with the digital world, and they share that they often feel watched but not seen by the adults who mentor them. This two-part series will be facilitated by Dr. Devorah Heitner, educator and author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World and Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in the Digital World, and Dashka Slater, New York Times bestselling author of The 57 Bus, whose most recent book, Accountable, tells the true story of the lasting impact of a racist social media account on the lives of a group of high school students.
Devorah and Dashka will share resources and insights from their experiences and research. They will guide participants in building toolkits for their unique school communities to support healthy social media engagement and resolution of social media incidents once they’ve escalated. Participants will have the opportunity to unpack incidents that have taken place at their own schools, strategize about how to support students as they navigate divisive issues in online spaces, discuss how to make lasting repairs in partnership with students rather than fall into damage control patterns, and think long-term about what it means for young people to be accountable in the digital world.
