State Board Launches Social Studies Standards Public Review Website

Please note: This article was originally published on 1/25/2016. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. This week he Tennessee State Board of Education launched a review website, https://apps.tn.gov/tcas/, to collect public feedback on Tennessee’s grade K-12 social studies standards.

Following a similar review process as the math and English language arts standards, the revised standards will be reviewed in the fall of 2016 by a Standards Recommendation Committee, appointed by the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Speaker of the House. In October 2014, Gov. Haslam introduced a comparable review process online, […]
