How Issaquah School District empowers 5,000 middle school students at the intersection of skill-building, learning, and well-being

Issaquah School District is known for educating the innovators, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders of tomorrow. Students in the district repeatedly score within the top five percent on state and national standardized tests, but Issaquah teachers aim for more — seeking to inspire passionate lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world. Issaquah runs #WinAtSocial Lessons across its 6th-8th grades district-wide to empower its students with positive character education related to technology and social media.

Issaquah School District’s Key Challenges:

  • How do we empower our students with positive character education related to technology and social media?
  • How do we keep students engaged, without talking down to them?
  • How do we easily integrate positive social media and tech training school-wide with minimal ramp-up time for faculty?
  • How do we ensure faculty can stay up-to-date about this ever-changing topic?
