The teachers' lounge is not very private; office personnel wander in to get coffee, and the door often stands open even though students pass by regularly and can overhear anything said.

However, discussing data is beneficial to all teachers. Sometimes we can find out new, innovative ways to teach our students by speaking with our peer. The only way to know that another teacher did well teaching a skill is through the discussion of data.

Getting input from other teachers about methods of teaching or different homework assignments can be useful to improve students scores. As long as the conversation is completely constructive and no students are mentioned specifically then these conversations can be beneficial.

The meeting could be quick and take place in a more private setting, and maybe even include administrators. The privacy thing would be addressed and corrected. You could all compare any data tables based on performance and behavior - to really figure out a plan moving forward for each students that share multiple teachers. This way, it is professional and confidential.
