Confidentiality

As a future educator, it has recently come to my attention that I need to be wary of laws governing the privacy of individuals that educators must adhere to.  The primary legislation in regards to student privacy is the FERPA (Family Educational Rights Protection Act).  Among other implications, this act requires educators to carefully safeguard private personal information of students and their families.  For this reason, I cannot refer to any student I work with by their true name.
