Approaching Healthy Cellphone Use in the Digital Age

Many Texas schools and districts are implementing cellphone bans for students during times of instruction due to policies per the Texas Education Code.
 
Limiting the use of addictive devices is a start, but helping students learn healthy and safe behaviors regarding cellphone use is the key to long-term success. At Wayfinder, we believe all students deserve access to tools and curriculum designed to build digital discernment skills and other future-ready skills like purpose, collaboration, and agency.
