Guideline:

Conducting formative assessments on a regular basis may result in a data storage and retrieval issue for teachers. In determining where and how to store assessment data, consideration should be given to student access to personal data and assessment results in a way which maintains student privacy.  Without this access, the effectiveness of the feedback between the teacher and student is adversely impacted.
