From the Editor
Good evening,
This week, we take a look at Tennessee's work in literacy and workforce readiness being cited in the U.S. Department of Education's guide to returning education control to the states.
We also have analysis of U.S. test scores on an international exam dropping to historic lows, the state education commissioner emphasizing career readiness during student Q&A, and a deep dive into one nonprofit connecting underprivileged students with education opportunity.
