The Professional Educator and Technology (Assessment Questions and Answers)

A vice principal, Mr. Chiaro, is new to the school and district. He has noticed that teachers and other administrators very freely e-mail information about students to each other, to parents, and even to outside parties. It is a very small district and town where most people know each other, and no one has ever opposed this practice.
Which of the following should Mr. Chiaro do?

Allow the practice to continue since everyone is in   agreement and there have been no problems in the past.

 Advocate for the creation of new procedures and guidelines   that may assist educational practitioners as they make decisions regarding   the responsible use of students' confidential information.

 Restrict any further communication about students via   e-mail and require teachers to attend a class about proper e‑mail use.
