Speak Up Survey

Invitation to Participate: Speak Up 2012
Calling all K-12 Students, Teachers, Librarians, Administrators & Parents!

The Speak Up National Research Project collects and reports on the authentic, unfiltered views and opinions of K-12 students, parents and educators on critical 21st century education and technology issues.

Since 2003, over 2.6 million K-12 education stakeholders have participated in the annual online surveys. Data findings are shared each year with federal, state and local policymakers to inform education programs, policies and funding.

Speak Up is facilitated by Projects Tomorrow (www.tomorrow.org), a national education nonprofit organization.
