Futureproof shows school leaders and teachers how they can educate for digital citizenship through the adoption of a new, comprehensive and coherent framework. The book addresses a gap as there are currently no well-known frameworks that provide a comprehensive approach to teaching digital citizenship education in UK schools. This is surprising given how digital technologies are part and parcel of most young people's lives today and will continue to be so in the future. Given that the technologies are constantly changing, it might be said that those responsible for teaching digital citizenship are shooting in the dark whilst trying to hit a moving target. The book brings clarity by explaining the theory and research behind the Futureproof framework, and through its focus on how it can be implemented in primary and secondary schools. The book includes details of the digital citizenship framework, an overview of learning and teaching outcomes and examples from practice throughout. The main features of Futureproof are it: introduces a new practical digital citizenship education framework for primary and secondary schools that addresses digital risks and opportunities together and holistically. addresses key concerns in ways that relate to digital citizenship, including, issues of online safety and security, digital literacy, online crime, employment, cyberbullying, online harms, digital wellbeing, e-learning, and civic and political participation. adopts a character strengths-based approach preparing young people for their future lives and work. is not deficit-based - it celebrates the positives of digital technologies and how they can contribute to individual and societal flourishing and wellbeing. aligns with current policy on online safety from the UK Department for Education (DfE), the Living in the Connected World Framework as well as advice from other prominent organisations. is hands on and practical - it provides a step-by-step approach and shows, by using examples, how school leaders, teachers and others working in education can implement the framework. is grounded in established theory and underpinned by research and evidence.
