You have an expectation of privacy in your classroom. Individuals, including coworkers, should not record or video you without your consent. Doing so is considered a felony.

So many of us utilize digital resources to enhance our classroom instruction. Our district is tasked with ensuring these resources follow our policies and guidelines. Each site, vendor, and/or program is thoroughly researched and vetted prior to becoming an approved digital resource. An approved list is available to for planning purposes. If your resource is not on this list, it is your best practice to submit a request for approval. It is better to be safe than sorry in ensuring your resource is aligned with the district’s policies and guidelines.
