Topic Description: This highly interactive course engages UM students in interdisciplinary collaboration with each other, as well as with local 6th graders and middle school staff. UM students will be able to explore issues of digital wellness, both their own and for the middle school students they will mentor. After learning about digital wellness tools and skills, group teaching and facilitation skills, and culturally responsive, trauma-informed mentoring during the first 4 sessions of the course, UM students will host two engaging, on-campus Digital Wellness Symposia for selected Ann Arbor middle school student leaders. Teams of UM students will then visit one of the middle schools for the remainder of the semester to mentor middle schoolers as they customize a digital wellness project for their peers. Past students state it was helpful to them in thinking about their own digital wellness, as well as learning skills to work in a school setting, facilitating project-based learning with engaged young people. Those enrolled must pass the UM-required background check and be able to organize their own transportation to schools. (All the middle schools are on the AATA bus line).
