Advocating for TN Teachers & Literacy
The 2021 State of Education in Tennessee report, “Renewing our Pledge,” identified key concerns about literacy teaching and learning in our state. Schools and teachers need support to create meaningful improvement in students’ literacy achievement. Join me as I advocate for 1.) a better approach to teaching reading; and 2.) required, systematic teacher professional development on evidence-based practices for teaching reading.
