Inappropriate Use of Student Data

One teacher decided to share information regarding a student in her classroom. She went on to describe his negative behavior along with is bad language. The teacher also informed the other teacher that she will need to keep a close watch on him, because some of his age appropriate developmental milestones are not on target and he will probably need some extra services. One thing our teachers will have to consider is the fact remains that the sharing of this kind of information is inappropriate. The student's personal information is to be kept confidential at all times. Any sharing of documents remains private until released by the parent by the signing of proper documentation.

  1. You bring up excellent points. The right to privacy is inherently a contract between student-teacher-student.

    Professional behavior requires that we respect that relationship.

    Great post!
