DFi Presents at the International School Safety Institute on Teen Culture

The first step in keeping our schools safe is raising empathetic, emotionally-aware kids.

Drugs, Devices and Social-Emotional Learning Are All Connected

What the latest research tells us about emotional intelligence & teen substance use. From the Winter 2018 edition of NASRO’s School Safety publication.

Who uses DFI?

Here are just a few of the hundreds of schools who teach DFI’s digital citizenship curriculum.

WHAT TEACHERS SAY

What I like most is the consistency of the information across the courses, and the notes and outlines to teach the classes as they are supposed to be taught.

The videos provide to help strengthen some of the topics. They help break up presentations as well.

I love the up to date and organized presentations

Some kids opened up about their parents abusing drugs and how they don’t want to be like them. Lessons were eye openers.

The consistent message being taught through every classroom is great and its helped both teachers and students to understand each other better

I find it easier to open conversations with parents and students

This program definitely opens the communication doors with students. Something we have not been able to do well in the past

A benefit from having DFI curriculum is an increase in communication among parents and a substantial increase in communication between kids and parents.

The work you do at DFI to put together usable training and programs makes it easier for me to get information out to families

I have had several students say that they are happier online and feel more in control after realizing how the apps work and how they are designed be addictive and keep them engaged.

I’m a fan of all of it

Easy way to get into the classroom and assemblies when there is an easy to use and good presentation already made for you

The lessons are effective, particularly with the younger kids

Digital Citizenship courses are spot on: Students seemed to realize how much time they were spending on devices and agreed to find time to put them down.

Parent Acedemies are great for informing parents of the hidden risks online. We all know the obvious stuff but most have had their eyes opened to a much deeper need to monitor our kids digital footprint.

So important with the emotional intelligence ties throughout the curriculum

Understanding digital rights and responsibilities helps student to make better choices.
