Again, FERPA is something extremely important for providing the protection to our students. This was a refresher on this topic as I do FERPA trainings annually!

Understanding FERPA rules and laws is very helpful to all at the college because if one of us doesn't comply it can affect the entire college as a whole.

I have been working with the notion of FERPA in mind every day since its inception. Most of the time as a Professor we think we don't have to worry about FERPA but when a parent wants to speak to you regarding a students grades ect we cannot talk to the parents unless there is a waiver on file. As a teacher or professor our first instinct is to talk to parents but think before you speak mentality is needed for sure. 

My thoughts about FERPA!
