Jeremy Davis joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as the two discuss the role of schools in online safety and how educational leaders can foster digital resilience among students. Guest: Jeremy Davis Jeremy Davis is the Assistant Superintendent for Innovation and Instructional Support for the 12,000-student Fullerton School District in California. He also serves as the Vice President of the California Ed Tech Joint Powers Authority. Jeremy's role includes overseeing technology, libraries, student data, cybersecurity, and IT networking across the district. His position on the cabinet allows him to lead cross-departmental efforts on online safety, integrating technology and educational support for a comprehensive approach to student well-being. Key Points Jeremy Davis emphasizes that online safety is not just a technology issue but a cross-departmental effort involving all school departments. The importance of resilience in youth is highlighted as a critical factor in preventing online exploitation. Resilience is built through confidence, which is developed by knowledge and critical thinking skills. Schools can integrate online safety education into existing curriculums, such as social-emotional learning (SEL) and digital citizenship programs, rather than adding additional burdens on teachers. Jeremy shares how his district modified SEL lessons to include digital wellness components, making the content more relevant to online safety. He discusses the role of parents in ensuring online safety at home, including using tools to control internet access and having open conversations with their children about digital behavior. The district utilizes focus groups and surveys with students to measure the effectiveness of digital wellness programs and adjust lessons based on feedback. Jeremy explains the concept of "trusted adults" on campus, encouraging students to reach out to staff members if they encounter online issues. He advocates for proactive parent education through in-person classes, online videos, and social media campaigns to help parents stay informed about digital risks and resources. The district has developed a comprehensive online safety page, offering guides, recommended software, and information for parents. Jeremy stresses the importance of accountability in digital safety education, ensuring that programs are effective and continuously improved based on measurable outcomes. Schools should collaborate with various stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and technology departments, to create a unified approach to online safety. The key takeaway is that building resilience in students helps them confidently navigate the digital world and stand up to unhealthy online relationships and pressures.
