Invitation to Participate: Speak Up 2012
Calling all K-12 Students, Teachers, Administrators & Parents
to share their ideas about the use of technology for learning
|
Since 2003, over 2.6 million K-12 education stakeholders have participated in the annual Speak Up National Research Project which collects and reports on the authentic, unfiltered views and opinions of K-12 students, parents and educators on critical 21st century education issues.
Speak Up is facilitated by Project Tomorrow® (www.tomorrow.org). Data findings are shared each year with federal, state and local policymakers to inform education programs and funding. |
