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.
