SUMMARY:TN25: Mapping Our Future Together Report Release
DESCRIPTION:Tennessee is at an important crossroads – with a momentous opportunity before us. The COVID-19 crisis disrupted education for all students\, but has hit certain students the hardest — the same students who were chronically underserved in Tennessee even before the crisis took hold\, due to race\, socioeconomic status\, or geography. \nJoin the TN Alliance for Equity in Education as we release our report\, TN25: Mapping Our Future Together. \nIn the report\, we examine the impact of COVID on students and schools in Tennessee and make recommendations for the over $4 billion dollars in federal and state aid aimed to help close the opportunity and achievement gaps that were only made worse by the pandemic. \nIt’s time to map our future together and ensure we make the most of this moment in our history. \nRegister

SUMMARY:School Funding Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee Alliance for Equity in Education\, is excited to invite you to a community town hall on school funding reform. Tennessee’s funding formula has become an engine of inequality and we have an opportunity to replace one of the nation’s most underfunded and inequitable education funding formulas in the country. Our school districts are incredibly diverse\, from urban to rural\, from fast-growth suburbs to small farming communities\, and the challenges facing each are multifaceted and complex. But all of them will benefit from improving our funding so that our students are prepared for college and career. \nJoin us to provide feedback to The Tennessee Department of Education to ensure the state’s funding formula becomes an engine of opportunity for all students. \nWalk-in registration will be available and masks are required. If you are unable to attend\, a live stream of the Town Hall will be available here.

SUMMARY:EmpowerED Network Launch
DESCRIPTION:Leaders have noted that education remains the greatest civil rights issue of our time. But when it comes to our K-12 education system\, change does not come easy. There is still so much work to do to make our education system more just and equitable for all students especially for Black and Latino students\, students with disabilities and students from low income backgrounds. However\, as with most decisions\, education reform has always been dominated by adult thoughts and recommendations\, but it doesn’t have to be that way. \nJoin student advocates with The Education Trust in Tennessee for the launch of the EmpowerED Network\, a statewide network focused on amplifying the voices of historically underrepresented students in Tennessee. We’ll host monthly sessions to equip students with necessary tools to understand and advocate on education policy and justice issues. At our kick-off event\, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other with engaging activities led by League Leaders\, EmpowerED’s student advisory board. Then\, we’ll dig in and learn about the historic achievement and opportunity gaps that persist in our schools across the nation and in our state. We’ll also feature an incredible line-up of adult allies who will help us learn about the challenges and opportunities we face when it comes to ensuring educational justice in Tennessee. \nIf you are a student\, education advocate or practitioner\, come learn with us and join our movement for education justice in Tennessee. We are building a movement\, are you with us? \nRegister

SUMMARY:TN25: Mapping Our Future Together - Students
DESCRIPTION:Join The Education Trust in Tennessee and the TN Alliance for Equity in Education at a focus group. We’re excited to launch a statewide listening tour to capture insights and reimagine what is possible for public education in Tennessee. \nTennessee is at an important crossroads – with a momentous opportunity before us. The COVID-19 crisis disrupted education for all students\, but has hit certain students the hardest — the same students who were chronically underserved in Tennessee even before the crisis took hold\, due to race\, socioeconomic status\, or geography. In response\, Tennessee has seen an influx of over $2 billion dollars\, which must be spent by 2025\, from federal and state governments to address unfinished learning and students’ academic\, social\, and emotional needs. State and district leaders must now target these new resources to the students who need them most\, leveraging these unprecedented investments to provide Tennessee with a chance to close opportunity gaps that existed prior to COVID-19.\nAfter the listening tour concludes\, we’ll compile what we hear in a final report to be shared with stakeholders including policymakers\, district leaders and educators\, offering recommendations and setting ambitious goals. It’s time to map our future together and ensure we make the most of this moment in time. \nRegister
