FIPPA directly impacts my professional practice because, in becoming a teacher, it is essential to understand children’s and parents’ comfort level when it comes to the privacy of information. As a teacher, this affects what information I can share, what photos I take, whether on a field trip or in class; anything sent externally requires me to consider the level of comfort around privacy and what can be shared outside the classroom. 

This also reflects on my professional practice because it is a policy that directs professionals to think twice about what they share and emphasizes information privacy.
