In every Tennessee classroom, teaching and learning looks different based on the textbooks, curricula, and lessons that
the school and teacher have chosen. State
leaders have a responsibility to make sure these varied learning opportunities are preparing all students for college, career, and life.
Our state tests serve multiple objectives:
• Provide feedback about students’ academic progress and how it aligns with grade-level expectations
• Give parents and teachers a big-picture perspective about how a student is progressing compared to peers across the district and state, including a student’s strengths and growth opportunities
• Build confidence and transparency about students’
readiness for post secondary and the workforce among Tennessee colleges, universities, and employers
• Help educators strengthen instruction and reflect on their practice
• Hold us accountable to serving all students fairly
• Highlight schools where students are excelling, so we can learn from those who are doing well
