School personnel are encouraged to participate in
the annual Speak Up survey. Speak Up is a national research project that collects views about the use of technology for learning and shares the findings with local, state and national policymakers. Through Speak Up, students’ opinions are central to conversations about how to improve education in our nation’s classrooms. Since 2003, the Speak Up project has garnered feedback from nearly 4.5 million students, parents and educators.
Based on last year’s participation, 10 of our schools have been recognized nationally as Speak Up Loud and Clear Schools: Apollo, Lewis Carroll, Longleaf, Oak Park, Stevenson, Surfside, Tropical, and Quest Elementary Schools and Jackson and Madison Middle Schools. Speak Up Loud and Clear schools earn this distinction based upon total student participation, length of time involved with Speak Up, and use of data in decision making efforts.
• Send a strong signal that you value your stakeholders’ opinions by encouraging your school or district to participate.
Why participate?
