Join us for this timely edWeb podcast and Congressional Briefing as Project Tomorrow releases the 2025 Speak Up National Report, highlighting the authentic voices of K–12 students from across the country. This special event showcases students’ perspectives on how AI is shaping their educational experiences, their aspirations, and their concerns for the future.

This briefing provides an inside look at the key research findings collected from more than 60,000 K–12 students, educators, administrators, and families through the 2024–25 Speak Up survey and national report. The goal of this year’s panel is to ensure that policymakers, education leaders, and practitioners hear directly from students about the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into teaching and learning.

Key takeaways:

• Learn what students identify as the most valuable uses of AI in their learning lives
• Understand student concerns about data privacy, ethics, and access for all students
• Gain practical insights into how AI can support personalized learning, deeper engagement, and career readiness
• Explore recommendations to help schools and districts align policies and practices with the voices of today’s learners

The results of the 2025 Speak Up National Report are of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, librarians, and policymakers.
