Saskatchewan’s Action Plan to Address Bullying and Cyberbullying
Support Students to Develop Responsible and Appropriate Online Behaviour
Recognizing that all students need to learn the proper knowledge and necessary skills to develop appropriate and responsible online behaviour and that teachers and schools will need support to ensure this important work occurs starting in Kindergarten through Grade 12:
Recommendation #4: It is recommended that the Government of Saskatchewan work with school divisions to provide teacher instructional supports and student resources to teach appropriate and responsible online behavior to all Kindergarten through Grade 12 students.
http://www.education.gov.sk.ca//Anti-Bullying/campeau-report.pdf
Proposed Action: Support the instruction of appropriate and responsible online behaviour for Kindergarten through Grade 12 students.
The Ministry of Education:
• should provide school divisions with model digital citizenship policies and guidelines for local adaptation and implementation;
• should work with school divisions to provide teachers with instructional supports and professional development opportunities and students with digital learning resources.
