MPMS Internet Safety Education Plan (ISEP)
Please note – these action ideas are based on a template created by WCPSS for a school-wide ISEPs.
Ø Homeroom teachers will review school expectations that will include basic rules for internet safety and review of the WCPSS Acceptable Use Policy. See attached PowerPoint presentation.
Ø The school will develop and post in the computer labs expectations aligned with our PBIS slogan. See attached SPOTS poster.
Ø During Healthful Living, all students will talk about good decision making and positive interpersonal relationships. During this unit, the Health teacher will include appropriate stories and texts regarding internet safety. As a part of this instruction, expectations for internet safety will be re-emphasized.
o See attached Common Sense media lessons:
§ 6th Grade Lessons –
· “Cyberbullying: Be Upstanding” AND/OR
· “Scams and Schemes”
§ 7th Grade Lessons –
· “Safe Online Talk” AND/OR
· “Trillion Dollar Footprint”
§ 8TH Grade Lessons -
· “Cyberbullying: Crossing the Line” AND/OR
· “Does It Matter Who Has Your Data?”
Ø The Media Center will post on its website information and weblinks to provide information for parents and students related to internet safety. This will include a link to the WCPSS Internet Safety website and the NC Department of Justice website - http://www.ncdoj.gov/Protect-Yourself/Protect-Children/Protecting-Kids-on-the-Internet.aspx.
Ø At the beginning of each year, the school’s administration will provide staff key information related to internet safety (e.g., Power Point presentations, lesson plans, video links, SPOTS poster, WCPSS AUP, etc.) on the Media Center and/or school websites for easy access for teachers.
Ø Any teacher asking students to engage in internet research as a part of classwork will provide minimal instruction on safe use of the internet and/or coordinate with the Media Specialist for training in that setting on Internet Safety.
Ø The school will make periodic announcements via the morning announcements related to appropriate internet safety.
Ø The school will monitor student computer use on school grounds, throughout the school year by all school personnel.
Ø When the school has knowledge of students engaging in potentially unsafe behavior online, the counselor will work with the student on making positive choices and the school will contact the parent.
