Join CTS and the UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience, Diversity, and Learning for a timely discussion on school phone policies and student well-being.

A shifting policy landscape around cell phone use in schools has left families, educators, and school systems grappling with important questions about how to best support student health and development. This session explores the intersection of digital habits and self-regulation, with a focus on how constant connectivity can impact students’ ability to manage attention, emotions, and social interactions. Grounded in the neuroscience of adolescent development, Kathy Do will share research on how cell phone use affects students’ self-regulation and well-being. Joseph Bishop will highlight policies and practices that support healthier digital habits in and out of the classroom.
