Share Your Voice: Phones in Focus Educator Survey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Article: 2025-18-230

We are encouraging educators across the Commonwealth to share your thoughts in this national survey from Phones in Focus<\/a>. This non-partisan research is led by the psychologist Angela Duckworth (University of Pennsylvania) and the economists Hunt Allcott and Matt Gentzkow (Stanford University) and is focused on providing school division superintendents and principals with evidence-based recommendations for school phone policies that optimally support academic learning, healthy social relationships, and emotional well-being. The Phones In Focus survey asks educators about their current and prior cell phone policies and enforcement. This data allows state and school division decision makers get a better understanding of school cell phone policies and their implementation across the Commonwealth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
