Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Common sense media (common sense) is dedicated to improving the lives of children and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology. Common sense exists because the nation's children spend more time with media and digital activities than they do with their families or in school, which profoundly impacts their social, emotional, and physical development. As a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, common sense provides trustworthy information and tools, as well as an independent forum, so that families can have a choice and a voice about the media they consume.

Major Activities

Activity 2
Educate: common sense media provides educators guidance and materials to help young people learn how to think critically, behave safely and participate responsibly in today's digital world. Csm provides free educator resources from cyberbullying to plagiarism and their digital literacy programs teach skills, safety, and ethics. Csm's comprehensive, research-based curriculum takes a grounded approach to the fastest-changing subject anyone has ever been asked to teach. With virtually no training and complete flexibility, educators deliver deeper learning that guides children to make smart, safe decisions and to live respectful digital lives.in 2011, csm:*launched an elementary and high school digital literacy and citizenship curriculum*supported 31 demonstration middle schools in 7 regions (san francisco bay area, new york city, denver, omaha, chicago, los angeles, and maine), including providing curricular materials, consultation/support, and professional development, reaching approximately 1,500 students.*offered comprehensive resources on the educator section of the common sense website to over 25,000 registered schools/organizations (this number is over 30,000 registered in 2012), who in total reached over 200,000 students and 85,000 parents.*added education staff in denver and chicago to support schools and educators, and to build partnerships with community organizations.*facilitated curricular trainings, workshops, and webinars for over a thousand educators.*developed digital passport, an interactive web-based learning experience for 3rd-5th graders (which was piloted with over 1,500 students in 7 regions in 2012 and will be launched nationally in fall 2012).
Activity 3
Advocate: common sense media is a national, nonpartisan voice on issues that shape the media's impact on kids. Csm advocates for kids and families on key issues such as cyberbullying and privacy and the need for digital literacy and citizenship education. Our policy and communications groups have forged strong links with political leaders and digital industry stakeholders at the national, state, and local level. Csm also works to give families a voice and opportunities to encourage policymakers, media companies, and others to improve the media environment for all kids.

IRS990/MissionDescription0COMMON SENSE MEDIA (CSM) IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF KIDS AND FAMILIES BY PROVIDING THE TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION, EDUCATION, AND INDEPENDENT VOICE THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN A WORLD OF MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY. WE EXIST BECAUSE OUR NATION'S CHILDREN SPEND MORE TIME WITH MEDIA AND DIGITAL ACTIVITIES THAN THEY DO WITH THEIR FAMILIES OR IN SCHOOL, WHICH PROFOUNDLY IMPACTS THEIR SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT. AS A NON-PARTISAN, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE PROVIDE TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION AND TOOLS, AS WELL AS AN INDEPENDENT FORUM, SO THAT FAMILIES CAN HAVE A CHOICE AND A VOICE ABOUT THE MEDIA THEY CONSUME.
