2:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT
Google Hangout On Air

Please join Future Ready Schools (FRS) in a webinar that is part of the Leadership Hub, a one-stop-shop of professional learning opportunities for school leaders. In recent years, student data privacy has emerged as a major issue in education and political arenas. Recent news coverage and social media conversations about student data access, especially as it relates to outside service providers, have heightened the public's overall interest in the security of student data. A significant challenge that school districts face is how to communicate about student data privacy. During this Google Hangout, Jaryn Emhof, vice president of communications at the Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd), will share research-based messages and tactics to effectively communicate with parents and other stakeholders about student data privacy. FRS's Tom Murray and Ms. Emhof will discuss various aspects of student data privacy including

key findings from qualitative and quantitative research conducted by ExcelinEd;
main messages identified by ExcelinEd's research as most compelling and of interest to parents; and
tactics, tools, and other resources available in the toolkit to assist schools and school districts.

Join FRS and ExcelinEd for this engaging conversation. Panelists will address questions submitted by viewers from across the country. Register and submit questions for the webinar here. Please direct questions concerning the webinar to alliance@all4ed.org. If you are unable to watch the webinar live, an archived version will be available online at Recent Webinars & Events and in the Resources section of the FRS Dashboard after the event airs.
