TECHNOLOGY USE
QUERY
Given the rapidly advancing technology, how do we define digital citizenship and how do we effectively teach it at different age levels? How do we partner with parents around the student use of technology at developmentally appropriate ages?
ACTION
Each working group was composed of Shady Hill School faculty and staff who met monthly between October 2023 and May 2024 to explore the key questions within each priority area, and establish a plan for moving forward.
OUTCOME
Ongoing discussions with parents about responsible tech use include a Wait Until 8th presentation. Two new research groups are exploring AI and digital literacy curriculum.
STRATEGIC PLAN WORKING GROUPS
Seven working groups have been formed to study these priority areas and to create a roadmap for Shady Hill. Each group is composed of faculty, staff and administration. The groups are:
