Start Planning Now – Plan now to make the most of your data
As a Speak Up participating school, you will have access to school and district aggregated data. Past participants have used their data to inform technology decisions and purchases, to learn how to best provide instruction to today's tech-savvy students, to plan for teacher training, and to stimulate discussion about key technology issues in the community.
- Alert all schools in your district about your participation in the Speak Up survey so they can help spread the word to other schools in your district
- Schedule meetings early to invite school faculty and school board members to review your school's data.
- Coordinate the use of the data with your school's or district's technology planning and purchasing schedules.
