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

SUMMARY:TN25: Mapping Our Future Together - Middle TN II
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
