LGBTQI+ Students Online: 10 Questions to Promote Digital Health, Safety, and Citizenship
Office of Educational Technology, US Department of Education
Digital health, safety, and citizenship skills reflect the full set of knowledge and habits students can adopt to protect themselves and others in online spaces. For schools and districts, protecting student health and safety while those skills develop means taking an approach that can include policies governing the use of school-provided technology, access to personal devices at school, anti-bullying policies, and standards of responsible interactions online. While digital health, safety, and citizenship are important for all students, creating and maintaining school policies and cultures that meet the needs of students who are LGBTQI+ can require special consideration in areas such as responsible use of school-provided digital access, anti-bullying policies, and resources for building healthy online habits. To support the wellbeing of LGBTQI+ students, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) recommends school leaders -- including superintendents and other district leaders, as well as school principals -- consider and address the questions in this report as they establish school policies and cultures that are inclusive and supportive of LGBTQI+ students with respect to their digital health, safety, and citizenship.
