Grants to this Grantee
for an evaluation of the digital citizenship curriculum
Common Sense Media is dedicated to helping children thrive in a world of media and technology, both in school and at home. Having developed and implemented its new K-12 Digital Literacy and Citizenship Curriculum, Common Sense will now evaluate its effectiveness in schools and districts across the country. This grant supports this important evaluation effort. (Substrategy: Content, Tools and Services)
for analysis of the technology requirements of online testing and their relationship to E-Rate
Common Sense Media (CSM) is a nonpartisan non-profit providing information, tools, and a forum for families about the media they consume. CSM supported a larger effort (called the LEAD Commission) which was charged with developing a blueprint for the expansion of education technology, including a review of the E-Rate. With this funding, CSM would engage a coalition of nonprofits to help promote the LEAD Commission’s recommendations for using technology in schools. The work will focus on meeting the technology demands of online testing and enabling schools to assess students on deeper learning—a key priority of our strategy.
