FERPA is a law that protects student education records and gives students control over who can see them.
What I learned: Schools must keep student information private.
Only people with a “legitimate educational reason” should access records.
Students/parents can view records and request corrections.
Some basic info (like name or enrollment) may be shared unless a student opts out.
How I will apply it: I will not share student grades or personal details in public or informal settings.
I will be careful about what I say in emails, conversations, and online tools.
I will only access student information when it is necessary for my job or role.
