Data Privacy? Get Schooled is an online course for policymakers and education professionals developed by the Data Quality Campaign (DQC) and the Foundation for Excellence in Education.
It will discuss the value of education data, offer recommendations for addressing privacy concerns while promoting effective data use, and explore lessons learned from existing and emerging policies in education and other sectors.
Data Privacy? Get Schooled opens March 23 and is free and self-paced. Throughout the course, which features experts like DQC’s president and CEO Aimee Rogstad Guidera and vice president Paige Kowalski, Center for Democracy and Technology president and CEO Nuala O’Connor, policymakers and education professionals, you will learn to:
- Recognize the importance of data’s use to improve education outcomes and understand the role of the individual in promoting the value of data and security.
- Examine the core responsibilities for protecting education data at the federal, state, and district levels and gain tools to shape education data privacy policy.
- Analyze the current data privacy debate within and beyond education, its relationship to how people feel about data and current education policy reform efforts.
In order to create a culture of trust that enables effective data use, policymakers and education professionals must ensure that the public has confidence that state and local leaders act to protect student data privacy.
