4 Student Data Principles. Supported by 32 Education Groups.
The Data Quality Campaign joined the Consortium for School Networking to set forth principles to guide student data regulation. The goal is to protect student data while doing no harm to schools. 4 points they all agree on:
- Student data should be used to further and support student learning and success.
- Students, families, and educators should have timely access to information collected about the student.
- Students’ personal information should only be shared with service providers for legitimate educational purposes.
- Everyone who has access to students’ personal information should be trained on how to effectively and ethically use, protect, and secure it.
