KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Take NPR Ed's Survey ... Please!

Take our survey now!

At NPR Ed we spend a lot of time thinking about metrics. In the education world this includes things liketest scores and grades, and increasingly "big data" and "analytics". In the world of digital journalism, the analytics we use include pageviews, Facebook likes (or now, "Hahas" or "Wows"), comments, and retweets.

But sometimes we want to ask specific questions in a more nuanced way than just reading through a bunch of numbers. We really want to know:

What's your favorite NPR Ed story? Have you ever used NPR content in the classroom? What stories are you interested in? More K-12, or higher ed? What ​should we be covering?

Also, who ARE you? Are you a teacher, a student, a parent, or is your name Ed and you thought this page was hyper-personalized content?

Educators, too, are increasingly using surveys to measure qualities that can't be gotten at by traditional tests.

We'd love to hear from you — just click here. There's a surprise for you at the end.
