Education Group Survey Appears On Wake School Sites
An education group called ‘Project Tomorrow’ is promoting a survey on a Wake County elementary website. The school is Cary Elementary.
2014 SpeakUp Survey
WCPSS is a leader among school districts in instructional technology, but there is always more that can be done. One important component of giving our students the best we can offer academically is to listen to them, along with their parents, the broader community and, of course, our teachers.
WCPSS is partnering with Project Tomorrow SpeakUp, an online survey for teachers, parents, students and community supporters to provide input around learning, and specifically the use of technology in our school.
WCPSS encourages everyone who cares about their school to take the survey. You can do so by clicking on the link below and following the directions to select your category (parent, teacher, student, etc.), and then to select your school for the survey.
We want to hear from you so we can provide our students with the best instruction possible. Please take a few moments and click on the Project Tomorrow SpeakUp button to complete the survey.
We will be working with the students during their computer lab time to complete the survey.
I also noted this survey on other Wake County elementary sites.
