Plan for Evaluation

(How will each of the following be collected?)
Process Data:
350 9th grade students at Wissahickon High School will meet 4 times for 40
minutes.

Perception Data:
We will test the students at the start of the lesson to test their current
knowledge on how to handle situations related to cyber-bullying or digital
safety. We will again test their knowledge at the end of the 4 sessions to test
how their perception changed and how knowledge increased. Survey will
include scenarios students may face on the internet and students will agree
or disagree with how the student in the fictional scenario handled the
situation, and if they disagree, explain what they would have done different.

Outcome Data:
Wissahickon Senior High School will see a 20% decrease in referrals related
to cyber-bullying.

Follow Up:
We will review the surveys and discuss this topic further with students who
have shown low knowledge in these topics or students who present as
possible cyber-bullies.
