Assessment Committee Application for TDOE Spring, Summer and Fall 2020
Assessment committees are essential to developing and implementing Tennessee’s statewide summative assessment program. Tennessee has one of the longest-running summative assessment programs in the country and unlike most states, develops and owns all our own test questions. Your active involvement, along with thousands of Tennessee educators, ensures the assessment process is informed by content experts who know our students; what they can do now and what they can accomplish in the future.
There are several committees gathering in 2020. You may apply for one, many or all of them. Join us in empowering educators and learners with valuable feedback through summative assessments designed in alignment with classroom teaching. Now is your chance to share your voice!

From July 6-24, 2020, Duke University will host a NEH Summer Institute for School Teachers,
"The Civil Rights Movement: Grassroots Perspectives."
This institute is designed by a collaborative team of scholars, veterans, and educators from Duke University, the SNCC Legacy Project (collaborators on the SNCC Digital Gateway), and Teaching for Change. Participants will learn the bottom-up history of the Civil Rights Movement and receive resources and strategies to bring it home to their students, so that they can see themselves in this history. Teachers will have the unique opportunity to learn from people who were key organizers in the Civil Rights Movement, and from leading scholars of that era. Teachers will receive a stipend of $2,700 in order to defray expenses.
