The Tennessee Academic Standards are the grade or course-level expectations for what students should know and be able to do. The State Board of Education is charged under Tennessee statute (T.C.A. § 49-1-311-313) and State Board Policy (Standards Review Policy 3.209) to review and approve the English Language Arts (ELA), math, science, and social studies standards at least every eight years.
The first step in the review process is a survey open to all Tennesseans across the state. The State Board appreciates your interest in the ELA standards and welcomes your input. The surveys below will be open from August 12th, 2024, to September 8th, 2024.
To learn more about the standards review process, check out the State Board’s Standards Review Webpage.
