Common Sense Media--For Librarians: Home

Elementary School Integration

Middle School Integration

High School Integration

All elementary librarians are required to teach at least two lessons per grade level in each grades 3 – 5.

One additional lesson in each grade level will support instructional requirements needed to become a Common Sense School.

Teacher and student device refresh will be contingent upon continued Common Sense School recognition.

Career and Tech Ed (CTE) teachers will teach three lessons in the appropriate course.

Human Growth and Development (HGD) have supplemental curriculum lessons built in to their Comprehensive Sex Education curriculum.

English Language Arts classrooms are invited to use supplemental resources for media literacy skills supporting their curriculum and pacing guides.

To reach instructional requirements to become a Common Sense School, middle schools will teach three lessons across three entire grade levels, or five lessons across two entire grade levels.

Teacher and student device refresh will be contingent upon continued Common Sense School recognition.
