Tennessee: A Turning Point
A Turning Point is the ninth biennial report to SREB states on their progress in meeting SREB’s Challenge to Lead goals for education. The 2020 report focuses on Charting a Course to 2030 — evaluating how well states are preparing their workforces for the future economy. Each customized state report documents advancement on both measurable outcomes and state policies. Through effective policy implementation, the goals can help states drive improvements in student achievement, high school graduation, college completion and workforce readiness.
