Common Sense Media / London School of Economics
The first of its kind, independent evaluation of Common Sense Media's media literacy education curriculum shows that it has had a positive impact on students in a United Kingdom study and that the process works.
The report findings, conducted by a team of researchers from the London School of Economics, offer significant validation regarding the efficacy of Common Sense's education curriculum and resources to build a healthy, equitable, and empowering future for all kids in a digital world.
Educators, families, policymakers, and partners in Arizona, across the U.S. and around the globe can take solace that the report demonstrates how digital citizenship remains core to addressing youth mental health, online safety and privacy, mis- and disinformation, the digital divide, and emerging risks and opportunities of AI technology.
