Comment on Aaron Armendariz's post: Yes, it is something that is not emphasized that often on other FERPA training.
FERPA is law that protects students' educational records. These laws are in place to protect students from any outside agencies or people from tampering, acquiring, and use of these records for any reason.
the sole possession notes information was news to me. It was very interesting to know that if the notes are transferred to someone else stepping into a position then the safeguard is invalidated and become part of the student's academic record.

FERPA provides guidelines on the handling of student information. This enables the educational system to uphold standardized principals and gives students the peace of mind that their information is stored with confidence and integrity.

FERPA' Is a protection for the students records and they are official that not every student or instructor can see unless they have authority to do so, this is student privacy unless there is special request to be done and this is the responsibility of the school. Even for the student he must apply for a special request and must wait 45 days to get the approval from the school.

Learning about how notes can go in a student's file was new to me.
FERPA protects the right to privacy of student's records overall. this includes the right to addresses, educational statuses. familiall information unless given consent under provisions/permissions of the student. The privacy of the student's records cannot be accessed by individuals of law nor of health unless provided by the student themselves.
What students are allowed to see and who can see their files
FERPA is the right of all students and/or parents. FERPA allows students and guardians access to their academic records and the ability to file complaints or challenge certain aspects of their records through hearings.
FERPA is a law that protects students' privacy by giving them the right to access and control their educational records. It also outlines who can access these records based on a legitimate educational interest. I’ll apply this knowledge by being mindful of privacy when handling student information and ensuring any access or disclosure follows the proper procedures. This will help me stay compliant if I work with personal data in the future.
Learning about sole possession notes was new and interesting to me. It was also interesting to know that if the notes are transferred to someone else stepping into a position then they are no longer considered sole possession notes and become part of the students academic record.
Student records confidentiality is extremely important, and must be taken seriously. If I have a question regarding sharing the students information I will always inquire of school officials first. Also interesting is noting what "sole possession" means and what personal records or notes an instructor keeps may end up in a students file if they do not keep them separated.
I reinforced my learning about maintaining student records and how I can handle personally identifiable information in compliance with federal law.
That FERPA is very important to follow, making it a very important tool to follow when working with student records. It also talked about confidentiality and how important it is to follow the guides put in place by FERPA to keep the students information safe.
FERPA is a lot like HIPPA and it matters
this a good program to protect students records and privacy
My takeaway was ensuring student record privacy, who can access what portion of the file, the privacy of educator's notes (sole), and the timeframe for allowing access.
