Participate in Speak Up

Now Open: 2023 National Surveys focused on K-12 District Leadership!

Three years ago, we moved to a new method of collecting district leadership input for #SpeakUpEd. Separating this audience from the school collection, lets us provide better anonymity for participants. Are you a school district leader supporting the effective integration of technology in K-12 schools? Share your insights by completing the survey(s) most appropriate to your current role.

Your input will have an impact on the future of education and digital learning in our nation’s K-12 schools. To express our appreciation, Project Tomorrow is offering a chance to win a $50 gift card. All of your responses are protected by Project Tomorrow. Our analysis is only interested in aggregated data. No individual responses will be released.

The Cybersecurity Awareness and Preparation Survey

Project Tomorrow has been reporting on the state of cybersecurity in K-12 districts since 2017 and will continue to do so this year. The third annual K-12 survey linked below asks district leaders’ input on this critical issue. Your participation in this survey is vital to informing new policies, programs and funding to support cybersecurity in K-12 districts.
