Trade ReviewEvery year, many school districts hit the news for privacy breaches, leading to shattered trust in the community. Protecting Student Data Privacy: Classroom Fundamentals, written by Linnette Attai, a well-known expert in the field, provides invaluable, actionable guidance for teachers to understand how to properly protect the privacy of student data, while simultaneously leveraging digital tools for learning. Today’s educators need robust training on how to protect student data privacy, but few districts are actually making that happen. In this book, Attai provides incredible foundational training, with actionable guidance and support, that will support teachers, while simultaneously building the needed trust in your community. -- Thomas C. Murray, Director of Innovation, Future Ready Schools
Ms Attai’s new book on student data privacy is an essential read for every educator. She effectively provides context for the concerns, an educator's perspective, practical technical knowledge and relevant solutions in accessible language. As the CIO of a large public school district, it would be helpful if all of our Instructional leaders and teachers read this book so that they are knowledgeable about what data privacy means and how to keep student data safe, since it is so dependent on human action. -- Serena Sacks, Chief Information Officer, Fulton County Schools; 2019 Woman of the Year, Woman in IT Awards
