Data Security
Teach For America employs a number of strategies to secure data and limit unnecessary access during
transfer, storage, and processing. We encrypt data in transfer as well as at rest when it is being stored in a
data repository. For our internal data storage, we change encryption keys on a regular basis to avoid stale
credentials and unwanted legacy access. Data is regularly obfuscated for analytics and reporting purposes.
We use best practices for data isolation, including limiting accounts for vendors who push data to our sys-
tems and centralized oversight of user accounts for external systems when we need to pull the data our-
selves. We use a “least privilege granted” model for access to internal systems, employing multi-factor
authentication where feasible, and monitor access across these systems with auditable logs. Additionally,
we have blanket data privacy training for all staff that covers key elements of working with PII, sensitive
data, and student data.
Teach For America shall also have a written incident response plan, which shall include but is not limited
to, prompt notification to Partner in the event of a security or privacy incident, as well as procedures for
responding to a breach of any of Partner’s Data that is in Teach For America’s possession. Teach For
America agrees to share its incident response plan upon request.

SCHEDULE B to SOW #2 re Data Sharing Description of System(s) Used in the Transfer of School
Partner Survey Data, frequency and Security Features
System Description:
Cultivate Description:
This Schedule B shall serve as Teach For America- Metro Atlanta’s official notification of the use of the
UChicago Impact Cultivate for Coaches student survey for professional development and organizational
reporting. Cultivate for Coaches is a professional development program designed to support coaches and
Participants in creating learning environments that positively affect what students believe about themselves
as learners and the strategies they employ in their classrooms, ultimately improving student academic per-
formance. This program includes student surveys for grades 5-12 administered by UChicago Impact. The
survey is crucial because it will provide Participants with important information on students’ perceptions
of the classroom learning environments that, in turn, can support their understanding of strengths and areas
of growth. Below we’ve outlined the various ways Teach For America- Metro Atlanta and Participants
will utilize Cultivate student survey data, including but not limited to:
• Participants review student feedback to prioritize areas for growth.
• Coaches utilize data to support individual teacher development, based on evidence from student
surveys, and incorporate evidence-based best practices provided by University of Chicago.
• Teach for America reports aggregate data as a key performance indicator for continuous im-
provement of programmatic supports.
Cultivate Survey Security Features:UChicago Impact will administer the Cultivate for Coaches Survey to
students of Teach For America. Participants in grades 5-12. The surveys will be administered using UChi-
cago Impact’s Survey Administration Tool. Each teacher will receive a unique link for student survey ad-
ministration.
• Student identification will be kept confidential and stored on secure servers for both outreach
and survey administration. Only UChicago Impact staff and agents necessary for administra-
tion of the survey will have access to student and teacher identifiers during administration.

• Students will select their birthdate, gender, grade level, school and teacher using a combination
of drop-down lists or radio buttons. This data is collected solely for the purposes of reconciling
multiple surveys from the same students. Students have the right to omit responses to any ques-
tion. Once data collection and reporting are complete, student identifying information will be
permanently deleted.
• Students will also have the option of selecting their race/ethnicity in order forTeach For Amer-
icato understand how student perceptions vary by race/ethnicity.
• To receive student data, CMs must have at least 50% of students (based on student count pro-
vided byTeach For America) complete the survey and have at least 5 valid respondents per
item to receive full report data. Partial survey responses will also be accepted.
• Only aggregate data (for classrooms with at least 5 students) will be reported to teachers on a
password-protected basis.
• TFA will have access to student-level data without any identifiable information through a pass-
word-protected system.
• UChicago Impact has the right to keep all non-identifiable student scores for national bench-
marking purposes but cannot report on any aggregate results without explicit permission
fromTeach For America.
• UChicago Impact employs several industry standard practices to secure data and prevent un-
authorized access. Data is encrypted both while in transit during the survey process, and while
at rest when stored in the data repository. Encryption keys are changed on a regular basis to
avoid stale credentials and unwanted legacy access. Data is regularly obfuscated for analytics
and reporting purposes and is aggregated by being rolled up at the classroom, instructor, school
or district level. The server management team enforces data isolation and oversight of all user
accounts accessing data, including continuous monitoring of access across our systems using
centralized, auditable logs.

This Schedule B shall serve as Teach For America- Metro Atlanta’s official notification of the use of the
PERTS Elevate as an optional progress monitoring tool for professional development and continuous im-
provement. Elevate is designed to be used in conjunction with Cultivate for Coaches to support educator
development and continuous improvement. It is fully aligned with the classroom condition questions in-
cluded in the Cultivate survey. It is customizable based on educator needs and is intended to be administered
anywhere from one to four times a year, in between Cultivate fall and spring administration. It takes ap-
proximately 5-10 minutes for students to complete. Administration and reporting are designed to give edu-
cators immediate insight on the classroom conditions they are prioritizing for improvement.
Elevate Survey Security Features:
• Participants that opt into Elevate will receive a unique link for each class that participates in
student survey administration. Participants will include students email addresses so that each
student receives a unique survey link. This is solely for the purposes of restricting duplication
in the survey responses from the same students.
• Students have the right to omit responses to any question. Once data collection and reporting
are complete, student identifying information will be permanently deleted.
• Student identification will be kept confidential and stored on secure servers. Only PERTS staff
and agents necessary for administration of the survey will have access to student identifiers.
PERTS will delete all PII within one year.
• Only aggregate data (for classrooms with at least 5 students) will be reported to teachers on a
password-protected basis.
• Teach For America staff will have access aggregate data. If Teach For America requests access
to student-level data for programmatic improvement purposes, data will not contain any iden-
tifiable student information and will only be available to staff through a password protected
system.
• PERTS has the right to keep all non-identifiable student scores for national benchmarking pur-
poses but cannot report on any aggregate results without explicit permission from Teach For
America.

• PERTS employs a number of industry standard practices to secure data and prevent unauthor-
ized access. Data is encrypted both while in transit during the survey process, and while at rest
when stored in the data repository. Encryption keys are changed on a regular basis to avoid
stale credentials and unwanted legacy access. Data is regularly obfuscated for analytics and
reporting purposes and is aggregated by being rolled up at the classroom, instructor, school or
district level. The server management team enforces data isolation and oversight of all user
accounts accessing data, including continuous monitoring of access across our systems using
centralized, auditable logs.

SCHEDULE E to SOW #2 re Data Sharing
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM(S) USED IN THE TRANSFER OF PARTNER VIDEO & AUDIO
DATA, FREQUENCY AND SECURITY FEATURES
System Description:
Video & Audio Storage Systems Description:
This Schedule D shall serve as Teach For America- Metro Atlanta’s official notification of the use of video
and audio storage for corps member teacher coaching and training. Below we’ve outlined the various ways
Teach For America- Metro Atlanta and Participants will utilize the video and audio storage platform, in-
cluding but not limited to:
• Uploading and reviewing classroom recordings and other content to engage in discourse and
feedback on teaching practices.
• Foster strong dialogue and collaboration with other Participants and Teach For America staff
as they share resources, ideas, and feedback.
• Streamline coaching conversations centered on individual teacher development, rooted in evi-
dence from their classrooms, and use evidence-based practices modeled by other teachers.
As part of our use of classroom video and audio, Teach For America Participants will be uploading their
classroom recordings. Although the video recordings are focused and framed around the teacher, there may
be times they include student images.
Video and Audio Storage Security Features: Although Participants will upload classroom recording videos
and audio, these recordings are not sharable outside of the platform and only the corps member who up-
loaded the recording and Teach For America coaches have rights to download it. Data is encrypted in trans-
fer as well as at rest when it is being stored in the data repository. We use a “least privilege granted” model
for access to internal systems, employing multi-factor authentication where feasible, and monitor access
across these systems with auditable logs. Our video and audio storage platform meets rigorous data security
and privacy standards as a closed and private platform and complies with laws and regulations concerning
the privacy, security, and notification of breaches.
