For the past 16 years Project Tomorrow has helped thousands of K-12 school districts learn about the views of their stakeholders through their participation in the annual Speak Up Research Project. By reviewing and appreciating the authentic feedback of their students, parents and staff, these innovative districts have transformed their education enterprise to be more responsive and supportive of the needs of those stakeholders. The transformative work of these districts to substantively engage with their school communities and use the input of their stakeholders to inform new education initiatives as well as policies and programs inspires us every day. It is for this reason that we are excited to announce the release of a new national recognition program highlighting districts' efforts to listen to their stakeholders and transform that feedback into actionable data that will be used to improve their school and district community.
