Digital Wellness in the Classroom

The Academy for Educators’ Digital Wellness in the Classroom professional learning course equips middle and high school educators with foundational knowledge and practical strategies to support student well-being in a connected world.

Grounded in current research and best practices, these courses provide practical strategies to:

• Understanding digital risks and benefits
• Practicing mindful, intentional media use
• Building healthy screen time habits

These foundational skills are essential for students’ long-term success, empowering them to reflect, self-regulate, and build healthier digital relationships—both inside and outside the classroom.

Advanced Micro-Credential & Professional Learning Options

To earn the 40-hour Digital Wellness in the Classroom Advanced Micro-Credential, participants will ultimately complete five expert-led courses. Courses are being released on a rolling basis, with Courses 1 and 2 now available and additional courses launching through 2026.

Start today with Course 1 — Digital Wellness in the Classroom: A Foundational Framework for Educators — and continue with Course 2 — The Emotional, Relational, and Cognitive Impact of Digital Media on Students. Each course includes personalized guidance and actionable feedback.

Educators can also earn professional learning certificates by enrolling in individual courses to focus on your growth goals without committing to the advanced micro-credential.

All courses are delivered through Canvas, a user-friendly platform for learning and feedback.
