Improve k-20 education through the research-based use of science, math and technology resources.
Speak up research project: for this school year, nearly 100,000 online surveys were submitted from schools nationwide through the speak up process. The surveys represented feedback from k-12 students, teachers and administrators about their views on key education issues including the use of technology within teaching and learning. The speak up data and reports are used annually to inform national, state and local decision-making on education policies, programs and funding. We present findings at conferences, through webinars and at our annual congressional briefing. Access to the national findings and reports are available for public use on our website: https://www.tomorrow.org/publications/speak-up-data-findings/.
Computational thinking integration project: with this project we are providing teachers and education leaders in new york, michigan and pennsylvania with professional learning and coaching to integrate computational thinking within everyday curriculum. As part of this project, we are doing new research on how to build up teachers' competencies, comfort and confidence with computational thinking concepts and principles. Numerous assets and tools are being developed from this project that will help us replicate this project in other locations in the future.
