Common Sense Media Toolkits for Educators

Common Sense Media is a valuable resource site for parents and educators. It’s a place where you can get the help you need to evaluate media and its impact on children. If you appreciate the resources and guidelines offered by Common Sense Media, you may want to order hard copies of the Common Sense Tool Kit for Schools and the Early Childhood Toolkits.  The school toolkit ($50) features grade-by-grade guides, tip sheets, a presentation with talking points, parent communication materials, a DVD with 22 videos, a CD with electronic versions of all parent education materials and more. The Early Childhood Toolkit ($50) provides ideas and templates for helping educators work with parents of children five-years-old and younger. It includes suggestions for a parent workshop, PowerPoint slides, an educational DVD, and handouts. The school DVD can be purchased separately for $20.
