| 3 | +## Our Pledge |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The Ed-Fi Alliance community is made up of technology and education |
| 6 | +professionals committed to using data to drive better student outcomes. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +We, as members, contributors, and leaders, pledge to make participation in the |
| 9 | +community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of how you |
| 10 | +identify yourself or how others perceive you. We pledge to act and interact in |
| 11 | +ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy |
| 12 | +community. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces - virtual and in |
| 15 | +person. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Our Standards of Community Engagement |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +We strive to hold each other to high standards of community engagement and |
| 20 | +collaboration. To do so, we encourage behavior that contributes to a positive |
| 21 | +environment, such as: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward others |
| 24 | +* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences |
| 25 | +* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback |
| 26 | +* Accepting responsibility for and apologizing to those affected by our |
| 27 | + mistakes, and learning from the experience |
| 28 | +* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall |
| 29 | + community |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +We define harassment as any unwelcome conduct or behavior that creates a |
| 32 | +hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment. Examples of unacceptable |
| 33 | +behavior include: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of |
| 36 | + any kind |
| 37 | +* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks |
| 38 | +* Public or private harassment |
| 39 | +* Publishing others' private information without their explicit permission |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Enforcement Responsibilities |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of |
| 44 | +acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in |
| 45 | +response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, |
| 46 | +or harmful. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be |
| 49 | +reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at |
| 50 | +[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or individually to any |
| 51 | +member of the [Governance Advisory Team](https://www.ed-fi.org/community/). All |
| 52 | +complaints will be handled with discretion and respect and will be reviewed and |
| 53 | +investigated promptly and fairly. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +All members of the Ed-Fi Alliance staff and community leaders are obligated to |
| 56 | +respect the privacy and security of any incident reported. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +## Enforcement Guidelines |
