How did Tennessee make so much progress in education over the last 12 years, and what must policymakers, advocates, and educators do to build upon the state’s significant gains? Senator Bill Frist, founder and chairman of SCORE, answers those questions in a new video.
In mid-July, educators from across Tennessee gathered for the first convening of SCORE’s Tennessee Educator Fellowship. Through this yearlong program, fellows strengthen their capacity to advocate on behalf of their students at the local and state levels.
Education beyond high school is a critical part of a successful future. Moving forward on our new strategic plan, SCORE will work to ensure public education in Tennessee continues to deliver academic progress so that all students receive an excellent public K-12 education and earn a credential or postsecondary degree after high school.
Last fall, SCORE hosted the Future Ready Summit, an event focused on improving student readiness for college and career. To start the conversation, SCORE shared a pair of videos that demonstrate the need for better student preparation and what it can achieve.
Tennessee’s fast-growing economy demands an answer to this question: Who will fill those jobs in the future? The answer that SCORE works toward, and hopes for, every day is this: The students who sit in Tennessee classrooms.
