Approaching Social Media with a Common Sense Mindset Recent incidents: Inappropriate comments on student profiles Questionable comments on former student profiles Sharing what could be construed as sexual content Posting on personal social media accounts during work hours Using SUSD social media platforms in an unprofessional manner Conversations that are not work appropriate in private messaging Inappropriate conversations even if you are joking
Approaching Social Media with a Common Sense Mindset Using Common Sense, Perception is Everything: Have you clicked or on a student s selfie? Have you had chats with students in private messages unrelated to work? Do you have underage students on your personal social media accounts? Do you really know how your student is perceiving the interaction?
Approaching Social Media with a Common Sense Mindset My Personal Rule as a Teacher and Administrator: IF they aren t graduates and 18 years old, then they didn t need to be my social media friends. UNLESS The social media platform is used specifically for work and work related content. OR If you are using your personal social media account and you have zero political opinions, don t share funny, inappropriate memes, and essentially live like Mother Teresa.
Approaching Social Media with a Common Sense Mindset Things to Consider: Consider the impact of your posts. If you have social media accounts and you have SUSD marked as your employer then you are PERCEIVED to be representing the District. Make sure your private accounts are not used during work hours. If you think maybe you shouldn t post something or express support/dislike don t do it. Like it or not, the nature of your position makes you a leader in the community.
Approaching Social Media with a Common Sense Mindset Personnel support: HR, Community Relations, and IS will develop and provide social media training for SUSD personnel. Keenan training is a consideration. Training will occur annually. Policies will be developed specifically related to responsible social media use and expectations.
