Tennessee Department of Education approves New Steps to Reduce Testing
April 12, 2018
Nashville, TN – Tennessee Department of Education Commissioner Candice McQueen announced the approval of recommendations that will reduce student testing in 2018-19.
The recommendations are the first to be released by the state’s third Task Force on Student Testing and Assessment – which includes educators, parents, and education leaders from across the state – and they resulted from months of analysis and discussion, as well as additional surveys of high school teachers and parents.
For the first time, Tennessee Department of Education eliminates two TNReady exams.
