Digital Wellness Teaching: Gradual Release of Responsibility

The Lethbridge School Division Digital Wellness Team is committed to empowering digital wellness education. Here's how:

GRR Framework: We utilize a comprehensive approach called the GRR Framework, aligning with Teaching Quality Standards (TQS) #1 (Fostering Effective Relationships) and #2 (Engaging in Career-Long Learning).

First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Knowledge: Additionally, our GRR design connects key aspects of the framework to within TQS #5 (Applying Foundational Knowledge about First Nations, Métis, and Inuit).

Empowering Educators: This framework aims to empower educators by:

• Connecting Alberta Education Outcomes: We integrate relevant K-12 curriculum outcomes from Alberta Education into teaching practice.
• Gradual Release of Responsibility: By incorporating the gradual release of responsibility framework, we build pedagogical confidence in educators.
• Competent Staff and Students: Ultimately, this empowers our staff and students to become independent and competent in navigating the digital world.
