Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting the privacy of student data when bringing technology into the classroom is one of the toughest organizational challenges facing schools and districts today. Parent and legislator concerns about how school systems protect the privacy of student data are at an all-time high. School systems must navigate complex federal and state regulations, understand how technology providers collect and protect student data, explain those complexities to parents, and provide the reassurance the community needs that the student information will remain safe. Student Data Privacy: Building a School Compliance Program provides solutions for all of these challenges and more. It is a step-by-step journey through the process of building the policies and practices to protect student data, and shifting the organizational culture to prioritize privacy while still taking advantage of the tremendous benefits that technology has to offer in the modern classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education-agency and school staff are legally and ethically responsible for safeguarding student information. In addition to federal and state laws and regulations, education agencies need policies and procedures to guide their everyday information-maintenance operations. This document provides examples of policies and procedures as well as guidelines for deciding what is needed to ensure the privacy of student information. Section 1 provides an overview of the issues and discusses important concepts and terminology used throughout the document. Section 2 describes federal laws protecting the privacy of students that have implications for the maintenance and release of student data by state and local education agencies. The third section describes appropriate procedures for collecting individual information about students. Section 4 explains the management controls and policies needed to maintain and use data within the agency or school. It also addresses the issue of assessing who in an agency or school has a "legitimate educational interest" in specific information about an individual student. The fifth section describes procedures for providing access to a student's education record by the eligible student or the parent. The final section suggests procedures for handling external requests to release information from individual school records. The appendices contain the text of key federal rules and regulations. A topical index, section summary, an index of commonly asked questions, and 22 exhibits are included. Each section includes references, an overview, commonly asked questions, and guidelines. (LMI)

Download or read book Protecting K 12 Student Privacy in a Digital Age written by Douglas Levin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade has seen many exciting innovations in education. Educators have developed new instructional models that accelerate and deepen student learning by tailoring instruction to each student's individual needs, skills, and interests. In recent years nearly every state in the nation has responded by considering new student data privacy legislation to build upon the aging foundation offered by federal law and to meet the unique circumstances and needs of their schools and communities. Given the complexity of the issue and its relationship to the implementation of other important education policies, it is important for policymakers to ensure that their actions effectively address parents' privacy concerns without unintentionally undermining schools' ability to provide students the personalized, high-quality education parents expect and that will prepare students for success in college, life, and work. Targeted to state policymakers and their advisors and grounded in new data commissioned by ExcelinEd on parent views about technology and student data privacy, the purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) to shed light on the context for the privacy of student data as an issue and on parental concerns more specifically; (2) to provide a brief review and analysis of the current federal and state legislative landscape regulating the collection and use of data about students; and (3) to suggest potential strategies for addressing outstanding parental and public concerns, including via the passage of new state legislation. The paper concludes with recommendations of actions that various stakeholders--including state education agencies, school districts, parents, and companies--can take even in the absence of the passage of new legislation to improve student data privacy and security in the current K-12 context. With or without new legislation, protecting student data will require a focus on good governance processes, regular review of security practices, transparency and effective communications, and a commitment to build the capacity of state, district and school level employees to protect student data.

Download or read book Protecting Student Records and Facilitating Education Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-01-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to protect the privacy of individual student test scores, grades, and other education records, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 places limits the access of educational researches, and slows research not only in education but also in related fields, such as child welfare and health. Recent trends have converged to greatly increase the supply of data on student performance in public schools. Education policies now emphasize education standards and testing to measure progress toward those standards, as well as rigorous education research. At the same time, private firms and public agencies, including schools, have replaced most paper records with electronic data systems. Although these databases represent a rich source of longitudinal data, researchers' access to the individually identifiable data they contain is limited by the privacy protections of FERPA. To explore possibilities for data access and confidentiality in compliance with FERPA and with the Common Rule for the Protection of Human Subjects, the National Academies and the American Educational Research Association convened the Workshop on Protecting Student Records and Facilitating Education Research in April 2008.

Download or read book Supporting Data Use While Protecting the Privacy Security and Confidentiality of Student Information written by Data Quality Campaign and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The education sector is beginning to embrace a culture that values, demands and uses data to support improved decisionmaking at every level--in classrooms, at kitchen tables and in state capitols. This shift is due in large part to state policymakers' leadership over the last six years in building statewide longitudinal data systems that collect and connect student-level data over the course of students' educational careers. States are now focused on critical actions to make sure these data can be used: linking data across disparate data systems, providing timely and appropriate access to stakeholders, and building stakeholders' capacity to use this information responsibly and effectively. While using education data is indispensable to policy, management and instructional decisions, this work must be balanced with appropriate protections for student data. The collective efforts to maximize the great potential of data must be accompanied by the necessary actions to: (1) Meet the moral and legal responsibility to respect the privacy and the confidentiality of students' personally identifiable information; (2) Mitigate risks related to the intentional and unintentional misuse of data; and (3) Ensure clarity around roles and responsibilities. This publication outlines three overarching responsibilities of state policymakers to protect the privacy, security and confidentiality of students' personally identifiable information and a series of questions about state policies and practices for state officials responsible for the stewardship of student data and state data systems to both protect student data and maximize their use to improve student achievement.

This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a well-known intellectual freedom advocate, this book is a one-stop source for school librarians on intellectual freedom and privacy issues that blends principles with best practices. In order to sort out fact from fiction and become effective, critically thinking adults in a global society, children need access to diverse points of view from authoritative sources in their school libraries. This book provides school librarians with easy-to-read guidance on specific aspects of intellectual freedom and privacy, explaining how the core values of the library profession translate into everyday practice. The readings supply current information and targeted, practical advice on a broad range of topics, including privacy and confidentiality in the context of a school library; working with homeless students, English language learners, and other special needs students; challenges to school library materials; filtering issues; and advocacy for intellectual freedom. Each of the nine chapters begins with an introductory essay examining the topic and concludes with a "key ideas" summary; a list of annotated resources to lead the reader to more information on the individual column topics; and discussion questions. The volume's appendices include the text of the ALA Library Bill of Rights and the Code of Ethics as well as an annotated list of pro-First Amendment and privacy protecting organizations with contact information.

Download or read book The Individual and Privacy written by Joseph A. Cannataci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays selected for this volume reflect the many paths followed to develop a new, more robust methodology (idMAPPING) for investigating privacy. Each article deals with the three dimensions of time, space and place by addressing a number of questions such as: who? Which individual? When? How? Is privacy viewed from the perspective of legal theory, or of information science? Or from the viewpoint of sociology, social psychology, philosophy, information ethics or data protection law? The reader is offered a multi-disciplinary overview of the subject, a mosaic made up of several snapshots taken at different times by different scholars with different points of view. The detailed introduction increases clarity in parts of the picture where the way that the pieces fit together may not be immediately apparent, and concludes by challenging internet-era fallacies. Taken together, the articles demonstrate an innovative approach to evidence-based policy-making, and show privacy scholarship at its best.

Download or read book Big Data written by Executive Office of the President and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first censuses were taken and crop yields recorded in ancient times, data collection and analysis have been essential to improving the functioning of society. Foundational work in calculus, probability theory, and statistics in the 17th and 18th centuries provided an array of new tools used by scientists to more precisely predict the movements of the sun and stars and determine population-wide rates of crime, marriage, and suicide. These tools often led to stunning advances. In the 1800s, Dr. John Snow used early modern data science to map cholera “clusters” in London. By tracing to a contaminated public well a disease that was widely thought to be caused by “miasmatic” air, Snow helped lay the foundation for the germ theory of disease.Gleaning insights from data to boost economic activity also took hold in American industry. Frederick Winslow Taylor's use of a stopwatch and a clipboard to analyze productivity at Midvale Steel Works in Pennsylvania increased output on the shop floor and fueled his belief that data science could revolutionize every aspect of life.2 In 1911, Taylor wrote The Principles of Scientific Management to answer President Theodore Roosevelt's call for increasing “national efficiency”: Today, data is more deeply woven into the fabric of our lives than ever before. We aspire to use data to solve problems, improve well-being, and generate economic prosperity. The collection, storage, and analysis of data is on an upward and seemingly unbounded trajectory, fueled by increases in processing power, the cratering costs of computation and storage, and the growing number of sensor technologies embedded in devices of all kinds. In 2011, some estimated the amount of information created and replicated would surpass 1.8 zettabytes. In 2013, estimates reached 4 zettabytes of data generated worldwide.

Download or read book Privacy Big Data and the Public Good written by Julia Lane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive amounts of data on human beings can now be analyzed. Pragmatic purposes abound, including selling goods and services, winning political campaigns, and identifying possible terrorists. Yet 'big data' can also be harnessed to serve the public good: scientists can use big data to do research that improves the lives of human beings, improves government services, and reduces taxpayer costs. In order to achieve this goal, researchers must have access to this data - raising important privacy questions. What are the ethical and legal requirements? What are the rules of engagement? What are the best ways to provide access while also protecting confidentiality? Are there reasonable mechanisms to compensate citizens for privacy loss? The goal of this book is to answer some of these questions. The book's authors paint an intellectual landscape that includes legal, economic, and statistical frameworks. The authors also identify new practical approaches that simultaneously maximize the utility of data access while minimizing information risk.
