FERPA — Protecting Student Privacy

This professional development program empowers K–12 educators to confidently protect student privacy. Through engaging, scenario-based modules, faculty gain practical FERPA tools for daily challenges, from managing educational records to digital safety. More than compliance, it fosters a culture of respect, trust, and responsible information sharing that supports student success.
