National Speak Up Survey Now Open!
Project Tomorrow’s National Speak Up Survey is underway. The survey collects and reports unfiltered feedback from students, parents, and teachers on key educational issues; uses collected data to stimulate local conversations; and serves to raise the national awareness of the importance of gathering viewpoints from all perspectives: students, parents, and teachers. All participating districts receive a report and data with responses from their district, and a comparison with state and national averages.
The National Speak Up Survey is open through December 23, 2011. Please consider including your district in this national survey and dialogue. More information is available at: http://www.speakup4schools.org/Speakup2011/
