Our work together

Student perspectives, built into the research.

Through regular collaboration with Project Tomorrow's research team, we have contributed feedback to the 2026–27 Speak Up surveys, including questions about artificial intelligence and the clarity and consistency of AI guidelines across classrooms.

  1. 01

    Survey development

    Reviewing AI-related questions and recommending revisions based on students' experiences.

  2. 02

    Student perspectives

    Sharing findings from AI Vanguard's 447-student survey to inform discussions about AI use and school guidance.

  3. 03

    District outreach

    Connecting district leaders with Project Tomorrow to explore participation in Speak Up.

Our goal is to help education research capture what students experience, where school guidance falls short, and what students need from the adults making decisions about AI.
