Seeking Schools and School Districts to Participate in Next Gallup Student Poll

6/12/2009

America’s Promise Alliance, Gallup and the American Association of School Administrators, recently completed the first phase of the Gallup Student Poll – a nationwide survey of 5th through 12th graders measuring hope, engagement, and well being.  On May 5 we announced results from the initial phase.  Now, we’re preparing for the fall round of polling, and we need your help. 

With the permission of school officials such as superintendents and principals, we will administer the poll in schools across the country to capture the voices of our youth – an often overlooked resource in our quest to provide better learning and living experiences for our young people.

Available in English or Spanish, and free of charge to participating districts, the Gallup Student Poll will provide schools and communities with results within two weeks of the survey period.  In addition to providing quick results, a Solutions Center will provide suggestions on how to increase student scores in the areas of hope, engagement, and well-being.

Join us in our efforts to recruit for the October polling period, and encourage your local school administrators to participate.
