Schools and districts that participate in the Speak Up survey gain free online access to their own aggregated data for internal planning purposes, with national benchmark data for comparison. National findings from the 2009 survey will be released during two Congressional briefings in the spring.
Evans said participation in the survey is increasing every year.
“Each year, more schools sign up to be part of Speak Up, because it offers them–their students, parents, and staff–a way to express their opinions about the future of learning, local and national policies, how teaching could be improved, and more,” she said.
“The information is invaluable to the schools [that] participate, [as well as] the elected leaders at all levels who use Speak Up data as a way to gauge opinions on a range of educational issues,” she added.
The 2009 online survey is open through Dec. 18 for all K-12 students, parents, teachers, pre-service teachers, and administrators.
