Save the date! The Speak Up Introduction webinar is on October 1st!

Getting started with Speak Up 2015:
a 30 minute introduction

Thursday, October 1, 2015
9AM PT/12PM ET
12PM PT/3PM ET
3 pm PT/6 pm ET

Each fall, Project Tomorrow, an internationally recognized education nonprofit organization, facilitates the Speak Up Research Project – and we would like to invite you to learn more about how your school and district can participate this year.  Speak Up 2015 is the best way for education leaders to learn about the views and ideas of K-12 students, parents and teachers regarding digital learning, workplace skill development, STEM education and professional development.  It is easy to participate in Speak Up – there are no fees or costs – everything is 100% free.  Last year over 521,000 K-12 students, parents and educators completed a Speak Up survey.  And 8,200 schools and 2,600 districts received free reports with their local data plus national findings for comparatives. Why use instructional funds for data collection when Speak Up is already available to every K-12 school and district?  Plus, Speak Up provides a direct pipeline for the voices of your stakeholders to impact federal and state policies, programs and funding every year.  

Want to learn more about Speak Up 2015?  Join us on October 1 for a quick 30-minute introduction to Speak Up hosted by the CEO of Project Tomorrow, Julie Evans. Three times are currently available:   

9AM PT/12PM ET
12PM PT/3PM ET
3PM PT /6PM ET

Click here to RSVP and we will send you the information on how to access the live webinar at your preferred time. We only have a limited number of virtual seats per session – please rvsp today to save your spot!  

In the Getting Started live webinar, Julie will address these key questions for you: 
  • What is Speak Up?  What types of questions are asked on the online surveys and what types of schools or districts participate in Speak Up? 
  • Why should my school or district participate in Speak Up?  What will be the benefits?  How could I use the Speak Up data to inform our local plans?  
  • How do I register our school or district to do Speak Up 2015?  What do I need to do to use the surveys?  What promotional materials can Project Tomorrow provide? 
Got questions about the live webinar or wondering if your school or district has previously participated in Speak Up?  Contact Lisa Chu at LChu@tomorrow.org.

We hope to see you on October 1st in one of the live webinars with Julie Evans!
