People generally acknowledge the superiority of adolescents in
using technology tools needed for learning in the future. The
purpose of this book is to describe an online polling strategy that
allows adolescents to make known how they view conditions of
learning at their school. A school improvement model illustrates
how to combine results of student polling with stakeholders'
perceptions in the scheme of school reform. Student polling differs
from other strategies because the target for gathering data is a
single school. This deliberately narrow base for sampling student
opinion ensures poll results have local relevance that can motivate
stakeholder involvement and guide their response. Over 14,000
secondary students have completed polls examined in the text. These
ten polls include: career exploration, time management, selective
attention and distraction, motivation for Internet learning,
tutoring, peer support, cheating, frustration, cyberbullying, and
school stress. Students are the stakeholders with the most to gain
or lose in efforts to keep American education competitive.
Accordingly, their views should be sought as part of decision
making about reform. When student opinion and adult observation are
considered, an intergenerational perspective can emerge that more
accurately portrays institutional strengths and limitations. School
principals, superintendents, and state department of education
leaders are invited to consider a collaborative project with the
authors. Software offers administrators rapid feedback on whole
school results. Finding out how special education, gifted and
talented, and second language acquisition students view their
conditions of learning gives additional insight about school
improvement.
