Core Beliefs

Earning a living wage has never demanded more skills. This

generation must learn more than its parents to do as well.

All children are capable of learning and thinking at a high

level. Children in Tennessee are as talented as any in the country and

often capable of more than we expect.

Our current education results pose a real threat to state and national competitiveness and

security. Improving the skills of our children is vital for the future

of Tennessee and America.

Tennessee is on a mission to become the fastest improving

state in the nation. Doing so will require hard work and significant learning for all. We must learn to teach in ways we were not taught

ourselves.

There is no recipe that will deliver a successful transition. Preparing

for Common Core will demand effective leadership focused on

student growth.

PARCC is coming in two years. We need to use the transition wisely to make sure our students and

our state are ready.
