Ask before taking or posting a photo

6-8, 9-12OpportunitiesTemplateReview and individualize before use. How templates are made
When to use this goal

For students who take or post photos of peers without asking. Present levels decide fit. Consent applies to taking a photo and, separately, to posting or sending it.

Baseline
Record 6 photo moments and whether the student asked to take and asked to post. Ask the student how they decide now.
Tips
Follow school device rules; this goal does not override them. Teach that a yes to a photo is not a yes to posting.
Limits
Phone use is often unobserved; the student's report adds to data. The goal does not cover image-based abuse, which follows school procedures.
