Digital Literacy & Well-Being Curriculum

Common Sense Media's Digital Literacy & Well-Being curriculum gives teachers a free, research-backed framework for building students' digital literacy skills. From AI literacy and social media to cyberbullying, screen time, and digital footprint, the curriculum covers the digital challenges students face every day as well as the offline skills they need to manage them.

The curriculum is designed for grades 9-12, with more than 25 lessons that reflect what students are actually encountering today. Whether you're introducing digital literacy and well-being concepts for the first time or updating what you've been teaching for years, this is a good place to start.
