Education
  • The first settlers in Tennessee had little time or use for book-learning, but they did have a wide and thorough education in the lore of rifle, plow, and broadax - learning which cleared and peopled a wilderness.
  • Such schooling as there was lay in the hands of a few clergymen, usually Presbyterians who had joined their Scotch-Irish congregations from North Carolina and Virginia. In summer, when children could be spared from farm work, the local preacher kept school in the community church-courthouse, a rough one-room log cabin with a packed clay floor and slab benches. Here for a few weeks the children struggled with ciphering, writing, and learning to read from a great leather-covered Bible.
  • A departure from this sketchy between-planting-and-harvest schooling was made by the Reverend Samuel Doak in 1780, when he began conducting graded classes in a log outbuilding on his farm near Jonesboro. The first regular school west of the Alleghenies, it was chartered three years later by North Carolina as Martin Academy, in honor of Governor Alexander Martin. In 1785 the charter was confirmed by the legislature of the short-lived State of Franklin. About the same time the North Carolina Assembly chartered, as Davidson Academy, the meeting house near Nashville where the Reverend Thomas Craighead had gathered a class of boys.
  • Every year or so between 1823 and 1854 the General Assembly passed some ineffective act "to establish a system of common schools in Tennessee." By 1840 the State was spending for public education a little less than 50 cents a year for each white child; a fourth of the adult white population was illiterate. Inevitably, the Negroes were overwhelmingly illiterate, though here and there a bright slave child was allowed to study with his master's children or was taught by some liberal clergyman.

EPA's environmental education grants, authorized by the National Environmental Education Act (NEEA) of 1990, are awarded to carry out environmental education projects. The winners were chosen from 75 proposals submitted by organizations and agencies in the eight southeastern states. The EPA Environmental Education Grants Program is designed to stimulate the development of environmental education projects at the community level by local schools and environmental organizations, and to facilitate environmental education partnerships between governmental agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and the private sector. Projects are intended to motivate the public to be more environmentally conscious and make responsible and balanced decisions to protect the environment.

    70. Tennessee Delegates At Civics Conference

    Lawmakers, education leaders take action for civic education home
    (FROM A RELEASE SUPPLIED BY THE ORGANIZATION "REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA") (WASHINGTON, DC) – Vowing to "take action to reaffirm the historic civic mission of our schools," top state officials, legislators, and education leaders from throughout the country headed home from Washington committed to lead aggressive state campaigns to expand and improve civic education in the nation’s schools.
    The Tennessee Delegation included: Rep. Beth Harwell, Janis Adams Kyser, facilitator, Mr. Bruce Opie, Tennessee Department of Eduation, Dick Ray, Tennessee Board of Education, Dr. Ashley Smith Jr, president of Tennessee Association of Middle Schools, and Rep. Joe Townes, chairman of the K-12 Education sub-committee.
    They joined more than 300 other delegates from across the country in participating in the three-day conference, in which they began mapping out strategies to increase the teaching of civics in their states and change state education requirements and practices. In a conference statement, they agreed that "civic knowledge and engagement are essential to maintaining our representative democracy."
    "This conference has been very successful," said Charles Quigley, Executive Director of the Center for Civic Education. "It has gained the support of a wide range of decision makers throughout the states for the important work of strengthening civic education in our schools. Participants are leaving with a spirit of purpose and enthusiasm that will lead to real results. This is an on-going process requiring a long-term commitment, which began here today and will gain momentum as participants work in their home states and then reconvene next year to continue the effort."

    827 F.2d 1058; 1987 U.S. App. LEXIS 11385; 102 A.L.R. Fed. 497;
    Decided August 24, 1987,
    Rehearing En Banc Denied October 5, 1987.
      Contents On appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. LIVELY, Chief Judge This case arose under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. The district court held that a public school requirement that all students in grades one through eight use a prescribed set of reading textbooks violated the constitutional rights of objecting parents and students. The district court entered an injunction which required the schools to excuse objecting students from participating in reading classes where the textbooks are used and awarded the plaintiff parents more than $50,000 damages. I. A. Early in 1983 the Hawkins County, Tennessee Board of Education adopted the [*1060] Holt, Rinehart and Winston basic reading series (the Holt series) for use in grades 1-8 of the public schools of the county. In grades 1-4, reading is not taught as a separate subject at a designated time in the school day. Instead, the teachers in these grades use the reading texts throughout the day in conjunction with other subjects. In grades 5-8, reading is taught as a separate subject at a designated time in each class. However, the schools maintain an integrated curriculum which requires that ideas appearing in the reading programs reoccur in other courses. By statute public schools in Tennessee are required to include "character education" in their curricula. The purpose of this requirement is "to help each student develop positive values and to improve student conduct as students learn to act in harmony with their positive values and learn to become good citizens in their school, community, and society."

    CHAPTER 9 Integration with other Adult Education and Training Activities Section 224 (b) (11) of the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act states: Describe how the adult education and literacy activities will be carried out with any funds received under this subtitle, and how they will integrate with other adult education, career development, and employment and training activities in the State or outlying area served by the eligible agency.
    9.0 Integration with other Adult Education and Training Activities (Section 224 (b) (11)) Description of Planned Integrated Activities Tennessee adult education and literacy activities are and will continue to be integrated with other career development, education, and employment and training activities at the State and local levels. This integration is accomplished by the coordination of State level policies and plans, interagency agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), feedback and guidance from providers and stakeholders, collaborative planning, data sharing and matching, joint efforts to leverage resources, and the encouragement of local level integration through funding application processes. The following table highlights many of the mechanisms for interagency coordination and integration of adult education activities, but it should not be considered an exhaustive list. The Office of Adult Education recognizes the significance of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) legislation for enhancing the facilitation and coordination of the Office's adult education, literacy, and workforce development activities with those of other agencies, institutions, and organizations within the state. The Office Of Adult Education will continue to partner with other state agencies in shaping programs for educating adult learners, preparing an effective workforce, and holding adult education and workforce preparation programs accountable for results. Readily apparent advantages of continuing and improving upon interagency communication and collaboration include infrastructure development and the assurance of non-duplication of services, as well as cost-effective delivery.

    Sometimes, it just takes a little push to get on track. Or maybe as in the case of No Child Left Behind a very big push. According to 64 percent of you who answered February’s question, that’s just what K-12 education needs to improve student achievement. Asked about the impact of the ambitious federal initiative in your district and state, nearly two-thirds of you said, “We’ll see progress.” Eighteen percent said, “Things will get worse,” and another 18 percent predicted little or no change in 2005. “I am generally not in favor of federal involvement in local and state issues,” said a Tennessee board member. “However, public education in America has proved it is not up to the task of properly educating our children and preparing them for higher education and life after school. More and more money is not the answer, but accountability may well be.”

    Scientific Community Unites Against Kansas Board of Education Evolution Decision
    On 10 August 1999, the Kansas State Board of Education (KSBE) voted 6 to 4 to remove the teaching of evolution from the state’s science education standards. In response, the American Institute of Biological Sciences released a statement reflecting its disappointment and disapproval of that decision. AIBS member societies the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) and the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) have joined AIBS in releasing their own statements of concern about the decision (following cover). These scientific organizations would like to remind Kansas of the sentiment spelled out by its own Vision Statement, which states that "students cannot achieve high levels of performance without ... a rich array of learning material" (taken from the Kansas Science Education Standards Fourth Working Draft, April 1999, as posted at http://www.ksbe.state.ks.us/topics.html). "Virtually all credible scientists believe that it is morally reprehensible to intentionally withhold knowledge from our children," says SSE President-Elect Michael Lynch of the University of Oregon. "No well-educated person wants to raise their children in an atmosphere of censorship."
