Take Action: Tennessee
Tennessee enacted important new laws last year that put student interests first. But we are just at the beginning. With Tennessee students near the bottom nationally in both math and reading, we must continue to make education reform a top priority.
Tell your legislators to fulfill their promise to students and forge forward on education reform this year: Take Action Now.

Meaningful Evaluations
We should continue and improve upon the important work to evaluate teachers in a fair and meaningful way so we can reward excellence and support those who need improvement.
Empowering Parents
Parent involvement is critical to student success. We must empower parents with quality information and with alternatives when their child is not getting the education they deserve.
Rewarding Effective Teachers
Teachers deserve professional-level salaries, and the more effective they are the more they should be paid.
Forced Placement
Teachers and principals should both have a say regarding teachers' school assignments
Alternative Certification
To recruit the best teachers into the profession, we need new alternative pathways to teacher certification.
