Why participate in Speak Up 2008?
Since fall 2003, the annual Speak Up project has collected and reported on the views of over 1.2 million K-12 students, teachers, administrators and parents representing over 14,000 schools in all 50 states. The Speak Up data represents the largest collection of authentic, unfiltered stakeholder input on education, technology, 21st century skills, schools of the future and science instruction. Education, business and policy leaders report using the data regularly to inform federal, state and local education programs.
By encouraging your stakeholders to participate in Speak Up you can:
- Ensure that their voices are included in the dialogue about K-12 science, technology and math education.
- Gather information from your students, teachers, school leaders and parents about key educational topics, including: educational technology, 21st century skills, science and schools of the future.
- Send a strong signal that you value your stakeholders’ opinions.
- Engage your stakeholders in decisions about the programs, services or legislation that will affect them.
- Encourage them to incorporate student voice into their local decision making processes.
