Tennesseans for Student Success

The Tennessee State Board of Education is asking Tennesseans from across the state to share their input with the Academic Standards Feedback Survey. This is the first step in the review process of state standards in English Language Arts, math, science, and social studies.

This review process takes place once every eight years, providing education stakeholders, teachers, parents, and all Tennesseans with a unique opportunity to provide their feedback to the state and inform new implementations for the 2029-30 school year. Surveys will close on September 8, 2024. Visit https://www.surveygroup.com/TNSBEStandardsReview/ to access the surveys and learn more information.
