Project RED has just announced a strategic partnership with Project Tomorrow, well known for its Speak Up surveys, in which the two organizations will review common results with an eye to creating a richer data set with information from both sources.
“We are looking at how teaching and learning practices by both principals and teachers lead to improved learning and financial savings,” says Jeanne Hayes, one of the co-authors of Project RED. “Partnering with Project Tomorrow makes sense since we can compare the difference in learning practices as described by school principals with opinions about school technology by their student respondents.”
According to Julie Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow, “Since our goal is to prepare today’s students to be tomorrow’s innovators, Speak Up has always focused on students’ aspirations and views on technology in learning. We believe comparing the Speak Up survey findings to those of Project RED may lead to some interesting comparisons of technology-rich schools to others.”
Both surveys are offered online with Dec. 2009 deadlines. Take the Project Tomorrow survey by Dec. 23 and the Project RED survey by Dec. 31.
