Modeled after the It Get’s Better campaign, the goal of the UseYourTeacherVoice Project is to create a forum for educators, professors, and pre-service teachers to post 30-second videos about what they believe should be changed in education.
Topics are completely open, and un-edited. They range from testing and curriculum, to parent engagement and unionism. The UYTV Project takes no sides, except to get teachers in the classroom heard by the public-at-large.

If you would like to submit a UYTV it is easy.
1) Create a short digital video on your camera, computer, or phone on a edu-topic of your choice.
2) Upload the video to YouTube with the tag: “UseYourTeacherVoice” or send it to useyourteachervoice@gmail.com for uploading.
3) Spread the word to other educators via Facebook, Twitter, email, and text.
