Well-Being Resources for Student Smartphone Habits
Utah Governor Spencer J. Cox has sent letters to district and school administrators saying “Cellphone-free learning environments will help our teachers teach and our students learn.” This has led to state-level proposals for stricter student cellphone policies.
Many school districts in Utah have already implemented restrictions or bans on cellphones in the classroom in an effort to reduce distractions and protect young Utahns from the effects of cellphone addiction.
We know that simply limiting screen time isn’t enough. True long-term success comes from teaching students how to develop healthy and responsible habits around social media and phone use.
