This guide from the Future of Privacy Forum includes over 100 short scenarios designed to help preservice and in-service teachers understand privacy risks and ethical concerns that arise in school situations and provide guidance on how to mitigate risk and harm through discussions on the legal obligations and best practices for protecting student data privacy. Each scenario includes (1) a section describing the scenario; (2) discussion questions; (3) information on the important privacy, legal, and ethical considerations arising from the scenario and steps to follow; (4) questions for deeper discussion; and (5) decision consequences. The collection covers topics of classroom practices, communication, media, student data, technology, and virtual learning and has both a teacher and a K–12 student version.
