Showing of Multi-Media Resources to Students

Multi-media resources such as videos, CD-ROMS, computer software, and Internet sites, etc. must have been previewed and deemed appropriate by a teacher, coordinator, or Principal prior to their being presented to students.

The decision as to the appropriateness of the material must:

1.  Reflect the varied interests and abilities of the students.

2.  Match the age and maturity level of the students.

3.  Meet the goals and content standards of the curriculum.

4.  Enhance the content, literary appreciation, aesthetic values and ethical standards.

If a teacher has any concerns as to the suitability of a multi-media resource, said teacher should discuss these concerns with the Principal, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Technology and/or the Department Coordinator prior to its showing.
