In Garnet Valley School District, it is our goal to implement, teach, and model Digital Citizenship in the K-12 classrooms. A committee has been developed to form a scope and sequence highlighting the important technology skills being taught, reinforced, and mastered throughout a K-12 curriculum. Garnet Valley is adopting and adapting Common Sense Media's Digital Citizenship curriculum. It is our goal for every teacher in Garnet Valley to earn the Digital Citizenship Educator Certification through Common Sense Media.
