Field-based Activities Monthly Report - Part 2: Reflection
This is a short month with Thanksgiving looming in the shadows. For me every month is busy with just the little thing like researching resources for my sites. One of my colleagues creates the lesson plans for Science; she is always seeking my help for additional resources. For example science labs, redoing a lab report, videos, interactive sites to support curriculum.

I have never been one to speak out; I prefer keeping my opinions to myself when in a group. In the Teacher’s lunchroom, I overheard fourth grade teachers talking about students. I asked if parent volunteers were in the workroom. They said no. I asked them if they knew what FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) meant. They said no. I explained what the acronyms meant and that we had to be more careful about using student’s names. I shared with them the story told by a classmate and how their district is being sued for violating FERPA. I also spoke to my Academic Coach and Principal about the situation without mentioning names. He thanked me for the information and at the next meeting made a friendly reminder about the privacy act.
