How does your school/district plan on using your Speak Up data?

With the Speak Up 2014 survey data release this Wednesday, February 4th, now is the perfect time to start thinking about how your school/district can use your data. We asked last year's top participating schools and districts how they used their data - check them out below for ideas on how you can use yours:

"Through the years I have used Speak Up data to help prepare the District’s strategic plan, to plan professional development, and to help shape a shared vision of how technology and core curriculum should be delivered. Survey results have been referenced when planning the district's budget and prioritizing technology infrastructure and instructional technology investments. Speak Up data has been used to help craft and secure competitive grants and it has led to the consideration and creation of new courses."
—Paul Caputo, Southern Columbia Area School District (PA)

"Responses from the survey are used as evidence and documentation to support district technology initiatives. Each year, the responses are reviewed by the district’s Technology Advisory Committee and shared with district and building administrators to determine areas of focus for future planning. Additionally, the district incorporates Speak Up data into the Educational Technology Plan."
—Dr. Kristy Sailors, Blue Valley School District (KS)

"[By using our Speak Up data] we targeted specific questions and asked each school to address those needs in their school teach plans.  We pulled out specific responses on a few specific questions for our district accreditation."
—Lauren Woolley, Shelby County (AL)

"Speak Up data has helped garner support for 1 to 1 initiatives, increased professional development and changes in instructional best practices and expectations."
—Rod Carnill, Frederick County Public Schools (VA)
