Tennessee Releases Education Science Standards Review Application

Business Wire
The Tennessee State Board of Education launched a standards
review application to collect public feedback on Tennessee’s third
through 12th grade science standards. The science standards review,
https://apps.tn.gov/tcas, comes after the highly successful English
language arts and mathematics standards application last fall,
which received over 131,000 reviews from citizens.
The science standards set grade-specific goals that exemplify
what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of
a given grade or course. The application was developed to help
maintain a highly transparent and comprehensive review process. A
committee of Tennessee science educators throughout the year
developed the science standards. Once the data has been collected
from the public, it will be aggregated and reviewed by educators to
revise. Standards will be posted for a second round of review in
2016.
“We are excited to open the science standards review process in
order to gather valuable stakeholder feedback,” said Sara Heyburn,
Executive Director of the Tennessee State Board of Education.
The revised standards will be reviewed by a Standards
Recommendation Committee, appointed by the Governor, Lt. Governor,
and Speaker of the House, which will then propose the changes to
the State Board of Education in July 2016. The revised standards
will be implemented in the 2018-19 school year.
The Tennessee Standards Education Review Application was
designed and developed by NIC, Inc., Tennessee’s eGovernment
Partner since 2000.
