Tennessee educators will soon be learning new teaching methods and best practices so that they can efficiently adapt to the new education standards that are being implemented for current seventh grade students.
School administrators met this week to hear about the new standards. Further training will begin this summer for all Tennessee teachers.
Tennessee will soon kick off a million-dollar effort to teach educators the new standards that will be implemented as part of the American Diploma Project requirements voted on last month, according to a Tennessean article.
The standards involve additional math, science and foreign language requirements, among others. Conferences with school administrators and supervisors will be the first step in teaching the new curriculum. Then, these educators will share with their colleagues what they have learned so that all teachers are aware of the new policies.
"That's exactly what I want us to be able to provide our teachers: good teaching practices, great examples they can model and any additional knowledge about the content they will teach," said Susan Bunch, assistant commissioner of teaching and learning for the state Department of Education.
