Key challenges: It can be hard to know what counts as private student information.
Technology tools can make it easy to accidentally share data.
People sometimes misunderstand FERPA exceptions and share too much.
How I will apply this: Be careful about what I write in emails or messages about students.
Only share student information with people who truly need it.
Assume student information should stay private unless I’m sure it’s allowed to be shared.
When unsure, choose privacy or ask before sharing.
