The Tennessee Academic Standards

Provide a common set of expectations for what students will know and be able to do at the end of a grade for each subject area. Our state’s standards are rooted in the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in their post-secondary studies and/or careers.

RTI²: Response to Instruction and Intervention Framework Manual

The goal of this manual is to support educators and empower districts in their continued implementation of RTI² and to ensure that you have the structure and resources necessary to provide all students with access to and support for reaching high standards and expectations

RTI² Manual
The manual can be downloaded as a PDF document at no cost.

Federal policies encourage states to adopt high standards but do not touch on curriculum, which is a state and local matter.

College & Career Ready Standards
Over the past several years, states have taken the lead in developing and adopting rigorous standards in English language arts and mathematics that build toward college and career readiness by the time students graduate from high school. Nearly every state now has adopted these college- and career-ready standards. The federal government has supported this state-led effort, in part, through ESEA Flexibility, which is helping to ensure that higher standards are being implemented for all students and that educators are being supported in transitioning to new standards.
