2022 State of Education in Tennessee
December 6, 2021
Through 2020 and 2021, Tennessee students, families, and educators have faced a public health crisis that has impacted our education system from top to bottom. Educators have provided instruction to students in person, in a hybrid format, and virtually – with limited resources and training at their disposal when the pandemic began. Administrators have faced staffing and scheduling challenges as the coronavirus pandemic spread statewide, requiring many students and educators to quarantine to recover from or to reduce transmission of the disease and miss valuable classroom time as a result.

2021 State of Education in Tennessee
December 6, 2020

These crises overlapped just as Tennessee educators and students were going back to school, virtually or in person. The opening months of the COVID-19 pandemic demanded ingenuity from educators as they stood up virtual learning practically overnight, responsiveness from leaders as they navigated an evolving public health crisis, and collaboration from communities as they worked to fill in resource gaps for students. The efforts by educators and schools were wide-ranging, nimble, and necessary. The scale of need revealed by the pandemic, however, raises questions and adds urgency to efforts to address the quality of education for all students both before and after the pandemic.
