The Tennessee Educator Acceleration Model (TEAM) is about principals and teachers working together to ensure that students benefit from the best possible instruction every day.

Through a combination of frequent observation, constructive feedback, student data and meaningful professional development, the new system is designed to support all educators so they can do their best work in the classroom and help every student learn and grow.

Fine Arts Portfolio Model

The State Board of Education recently approved the use of a new fine arts portfolio model that generates individual growth scores for fine arts teachers. This model was designed by a group of Tennessee fine arts educators and is garnering national interest. We are excited to finally be able to provide Tennessee fine arts teachers with an evaluation system that is tied to the measurement of student learning in the arts. Below is a Teacher Guide that explains the model in greater detail. The decision to utilize this model must be made at the district level, but if you would like more information, please reach out to Courtney.Seiler@tn.gov.
