Oche said the course contains a module sequence that addresses history of Internet connectivity, trade journals, networking hardware and protocols, and culminates in a research project in which students locate multiple sources, analyze reliability and create a timeline of connectivity advances from dial-up through fiber and 5G. She asked the commission to reconsider the course and provided contextual links and lesson references beyond the single activity that had been submitted as evidence in an earlier review round.

Department staff and at least one commission reviewer said the evidence initially submitted was limited to a single culminating activity; CodeHS supplied additional evidence showing that earlier lessons (module 5 lessons and module 2 work on trade journals) provide the background and instruction called for by the cited standard. The standard noted in the review was identified as C10H19.4.6 (as recorded in the review feedback).

Following discussion, a motion was made to approve CodeHS Cybersecurity 1 for inclusion on the Schedule E list and to advance the overall list to the State Board of Education. The commission conducted a roll-call vote; the motion passed with all recorded members voting in favor. CodeHS Cybersecurity 1 will be included on the next list the commission forwards to the State Board of Education for final approval.","After an appeal presentation and department review, the commission voted to add CodeHS's Cybersecurity 1 course to the Schedule E list for recommendation to the State Board of Education.",{"_40":95,"_42":43,"_44":45,"_46":96,"_48":97,"_50":98,"_52":99,"_54":100,"_56":101,"_58":102,"_60":103,"_62":63,"_64":65,"_66":104,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":105,"_74":75,"_76":77,"_78":79,"_80":81,"_82":81},6484380,"Commission discusses CTE supplemental materials, district vetting and a possible statewide rubric",481,963000,1444000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784836-8263008f28d031e90715b2ca0b6fef2a&start=963&end=1444","https://assets.pipeline.soaraistudio.com/5784836-8263008f28d031e90715b2ca0b6fef2a/thumbnail_963000.jpg","/articles/6484380/Tennessee/Commission-discusses-CTE-supplemental-materials-district-vetting-and-a-possible-statewide-rubric","https://secure.pipeline.soaraistudio.com/6484380-f4ebf3ea537a2ca69d64b4a468ccd199/orig.mp4?Expires=1790540919&Signature=DK8XyvEaG~sJmfrqibXKuVeevlZAvw7jH9Ww4WKyDl4YVuhoYfaQVYDt9KZUs4QX7ryTzna8mmjhZES5QQ027w7Q6C2V4DjWExYNqDopJtrXLP3OLNnbK-uGC21SPEYKR2sO-4MvvILHzOAho0FqapLe9ET5mZevy~BmZcF0bZ~pA9JWfEvHrRpDL-qdPwKiYk98S8wMJnasVQdxcgZGWOh-1~gRNl7450xeG1SY-DQp2f3aUPkJZ9~Oao7mYhTAc4f~GYNrjQCewn4GMNvH0zFdXoP12y9Z6HAXakt-00zxnS4KZsipImSTiY0WYhcDp2jIFJMbFDabt~VUpmxOvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K7X1XW2O9MH81","Commission members raised concerns that career and technical education (CTE) supplemental materials arrive frequently from vendors and can be low quality or quickly outdated, creating extra workload for small districts' CTE directors.

An unnamed commissioner, speaking from experience with district CTE staff, said teachers and supervisors report frequent outreach from vendors offering supplemental resources that do not go through the formal adoption process. The commissioner asked whether the department could create a vetted list or depository of optional supplemental materials and suggested developing quality rubrics districts could use when reviewing offerings.

Staff from the Tennessee Department of Education acknowledged the distinction between a full curriculum (defined in the meeting as materials covering 180 or more instructional days) and supplemental materials (less than 180 days), which are reviewed locally. The department suggested the commission could consider creating or endorsing quality indicators or rubrics to help Local Education Agencies (LEAs) evaluate supplemental materials and noted many small districts have limited capacity to run continuous vetting operations.

Commissioners proposed a hybrid approach: publish a vetted list of district-vetted supplemental resources and provide a rubric that districts can use to score or document local reviews. The department and commission staff said they would consider developing rubrics, examples of district scoring, and a depository showing how districts scored materials as a resource for peer reference. No formal motion or vote was taken; the discussion was recorded for future agenda items.","Commissioners and department staff debated the rapid turnover of CTE supplemental materials, the burdens on small districts, and options for a vetted repository or rubrics to help local reviewers assess quality.",{"_40":107,"_42":43,"_44":45,"_46":108,"_48":109,"_50":110,"_52":111,"_54":112,"_56":113,"_58":114,"_60":115,"_62":63,"_64":65,"_66":116,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":117,"_74":75,"_76":77,"_78":79,"_80":81,"_82":81},6484385,"Tennessee education officials outline social studies standards shifts and implementation supports",679,133000,812000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784836-8263008f28d031e90715b2ca0b6fef2a&start=133&end=812","https://assets.pipeline.soaraistudio.com/5784836-8263008f28d031e90715b2ca0b6fef2a/thumbnail_133000.jpg","/articles/6484385/Tennessee/Tennessee-education-officials-outline-social-studies-standards-shifts-and-implementation-supports","https://secure.pipeline.soaraistudio.com/6484385-dedcc12af9c0b134a6cbdee5a78e5f51/orig.mp4?Expires=1790540919&Signature=OdfbR9irNqEASR2LD5ye7DkR8oz3qs8Z9Vzcnpf9V2kKVI3ZyB3xFd4pYVV9ncnxSmDUs0edlGfHSrvL95MYHL6nr5WazFS7fEMK9wFLD7C2rFrEruUAiIFTpSHy9ukt8qhYv4t9J2HWEvoAruSFpMJ9Se1st1vMliUmJAMMPOL1Y7bbQD2z8XTLXoNW83N4VSb0bO4Jf7hvJ-HoitOFU-UTXkU3LeWfIJM1dMxZNP~3kgkeFBLYAa4QKCRy6oG7r08zOJy7rO4rXWauxiWndhis-JjjDahjFJUS-5Vr9-uOqN4FW~wmRnmBVc96ieXZgjxYaPnxiiUWULW-p4ZsLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K7X1XW2O9MH81","Michael Bradburn, senior director of secondary literacy, humanities and student opportunities at the Tennessee Department of Education, told the Tennessee Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission that the State Board of Education directed the standards revision and that the department will support districts as they move to new materials.

Bradburn said the revision process began in 2022 with public feedback and educator review committees, and that the State Board voted on the revised standards in February 2024. Districts will review approved materials during the 2026–27 adoption cycle and, for districts that select new materials, implementation is scheduled for the 2027–28 school year.

The department described content changes and grade-band reorganizations the commission should expect during material reviews. Examples offered included reductions and consolidations in early grades (kindergarten standards were noted to drop from 20 to 18; first grade from 26 to 24) and movement of geography instruction from third to fifth grade in the elementary sequence. In middle grades the department said counts are largely unchanged; eighth grade was described as moving from 75 standards to 74. At the high-school level, Bradburn highlighted an increase in civics standards (from 35 to 47) intended to strengthen instruction on government purpose and function.

Bradburn and Rebecca Reed, the department's K–12 social studies manager, said most revisions focused on precision of language, consolidation of duplicated items and clearer grade-level expectations. They stressed reviewers should consider the scope of content relative to local scheduling, noting block schedules may compress instruction and require pacing adjustments.

To support implementation, the department announced plans for a social studies Instructional Practice Guide (IPG) and social studies standards guides. Bradburn said the IPG, expected late fall or early winter, will define high-quality social studies instruction and serve as a coaching and walkthrough tool; standards guides will help teachers gauge required instructional depth and will be revised after the final standards are implemented. The department said it is also convening teacher groups to advise on bridging gaps created by content reorganization.

Commission members raised concerns about how new standards and materials will fit on block schedules and asked the department to include schedule/pacing guidance in district-level training during the adoption year. No formal action or vote on the standards themselves occurred at the meeting; the presentation was informational.","Department of Education staff reviewed recent social studies standards revisions, described content and grade-band shifts (including geography and civics), and previewed teacher supports and timelines for district adoption and classroom implementation.","actionData","errors"]
