SEVEN STANDARDS TO #WINATSOCIAL

Staying in control of our personal information.

Strike A Balance

Balancing our time and attention on technology with the people around us.

Tenth-grade students recently completed “Understanding and Mastering Our Mind and Body’s Response to Stress.” As one student shared with us, “Over the last few weeks in school, built-up stress in our bodies has had a huge e ect on our performance in school and extracurricular activities, both mentally and physically. By learning these strategies, we can become better at dealing with the stress and rising above, instead of crumbling!”

Fifth-grade students completed the lesson “Handling Our Emotions Even When It’s Tough.” One student noted that “sharing your emotions with a friend or trusted adult can sometimes help you process your feelings and see the situation from other people’s perspectives. Another strategy is to write your thoughts down in a journal or [on a] piece of paper and this might help you calm down and handle the problem in a way that you’re proud of.”

Cyberback

Having each others’ back and supporting each other.

FIND YOUR

Influencers

Surrounding yourself with positive role models and credible influences.

Use Your Mic For Good

Amplifying your voice to create meaningful change.

Handle The Pressure

Finding your own path no matter the pressure from others.

Our goals for incorporating WinAtSocial at SD include the following:

• Create an interactive, aligned experience across grades four to 12

• Curate anonymous data to inform programming

• Support an already strong SEL program

As educators across the world can attest, students have been deeply impacted in various ways by the pandemic.

WinAtSocial is one way SD is addressing these new challenges.

Life skills we’ll be building and discussing through this program:

• Reflecting our values, character, and interests in our actions online and offline.

• Balancing our time and attention to technology with the people around us.

• Surrounding ourselves with positive and credible influences.

• Amplifying our voices to create meaningful change in our world.

• Finding your own path no matter the pressure from others.

• Protecting our privacy and personal information that others may request.

• Having each other’s backs and combating cyberbullying.

Parents and guardians are invited to get involved too and to access the WinAtSocial Parent Toolkit and Playbooks (see directions below). These offer a host of supplementary resources that provide insight into social media, technology, and student experiences, offering family discussion prompts that you may wish to incorporate into your family conversations.
