Think you know the Common Sense Media curriculum? It’s time to take another look! In 2025, this tried-and-true resource received a major upgrade, transforming into the Digital Literacy & Well-Being Curriculum.
As a TK-6 teacher librarian who has used this platform for years, I’ll take you through what’s stayed the same, what’s brand new, and why this shift toward student well-being matters more than ever. We will explore how the updated curriculum bridges the gap between classic digital safety and modern student mental health. Learn how you can seamlessly plug these ready-to-go resources into any elementary classroom or library. Walk away with practical strategies to help your students stay safe, balanced, and media-literate in today's digital landscape!
