Whether you are debating limiting cell phone use or going phone-free on your school campus, there are a lot of factors to consider! We've created this starter kit of free resources to support you in making an informed decision that takes all stakeholders' needs into account. Do share the resources you find the most helpful with your school staff, students, and families to garner support for your plan of action. And do let us know what other materials might be helpful!
Follow this four-step approach to decide which policies are best for your school community when it comes to phone limitations or bans. Bring your stakeholders together to make thoughtful decisions and monitor progress toward your goals!

We've created a series of discussion guides to help bring together all stakeholders to discuss the pros and cons of cell phone use in schools.
What are some of the key decisions to be made? Well, that depends on your plan! Check out this decision tree to help take steps forward.
Any behavior change needs support! Bring our middle and high school curriculum, Social Media U (SMU), to your campus for ongoing education about digital wellness.
