ESSA

Com­mis­sion­er Can­dice McQueen and the Ten­nessee Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion have post­ed an online feed­back form to gain input from edu­ca­tors, advo­cates, par­ents, stu­dents and the pub­lic on many facets of the new fed­er­al edu­ca­tion law, the Every Stu­dent Suc­ceeds Act (ESSA). It is impor­tant that we speak with a clear and uni­fied voice on what we believe the law must include. Please take some time to read through our resources here, includ­ing our sug­gest­ed respons­es. Feel free to draw from our sug­ges­tions as you craft your answers. The most impor­tant thing is to make sure your voice is heard!
