Department Of Education Opens 2023 Tennessee Educator Survey

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

The Tennessee Department of Education and the Tennessee Education Research Alliance at Vanderbilt University have launched the 2023 Tennessee Educator Survey.

All educators, administrators, and certified school staff in Tennessee are invited to take the survey and share their perspectives and expertise on education issues affecting their classrooms and schools, to inform strategies and goals at the state, district, and local school levels.

Tennessee educators should receive an email with a personalized survey invitation link to participate. The survey is voluntary and confidential and will remain open through April 14th.

The survey measures key topics that district and school leaders monitor year after year, including school climate, educator evaluations, instructional practice, professional learning, student readiness, specific state initiatives, and new this year will be a math curriculum branch.

Districts and schools with at least a 45% participation rate receive aggregate results to inform decisions at the local level. And schools with strong participation become eligible for six staff appreciation grants of up to $5,000. Last year, over 51% of Tennessee educators completed the survey, offering key insights into learning loss recovery, teacher satisfaction and retention, and much more.
