Tennessee Department of Education Requests Feedback on Proposed Social Studies Standards:

The social studies draft standards will be posted for public review between April 2 and April 26, 2013 at http://www.tn.gov/education/curriculum.shtml. Over the past two months, the Social Studies Leadership Council has compiled these draft standards after receiving feedback and insight from educators in Tennessee and reviewing national exemplars in social studies education. Feedback from educators has been and will continue to be a vital part of the process of revising the social studies standards. Please take time to review the draft standards for any grade and/or course and submit feedback using this survey between April 2 and April 26, 2013. More information about this process can be found here.
