Educators Rising’s Rapid Responder program is an active corps of students willing to opine and respond to a variety of timely topics related to public education. The questions asked are a mix of topics developed by our student leadership team and Educators Rising’s communications staff. We deliver 8 short polls each school year and publish the results of these polls on our website. RapidResponders are just one of the ways we aim to amplify student voice and to share student insights into the full experience of the contemporary teaching and learning experience across our nation.

Students interested in participating who are under the age of 18 should first discuss becoming a Rapid Responder with their parent or guardian, understanding that our call for each survey will be delivered by text message. We do not share who answers what across our polls, but aim to publish the aggregated results for the greater Educators Rising community.

Students who participate as active RapidResponders are highlighted in our annual conference program. Students who answer at least four of the eight yearly questions are eligible to receive a coupon, redeemable at the Educators Rising Store.
