“Foot in the Door with Common Core”

The Tennessee State Board of Education is raising the bar of performance expectations through higher, more rigorous standards and assessments. The mission of Lenoir City Schools is to ensure all students are prepared for college and career in today’s global economy.

During this transition to the Mathematics and English Language Arts/Literacy standards, teachers will receive ongoing training and resources for implementation. The Lenoir City School System is sending 23 mathematics teachers and 40 English Language Arts/Literacy teachers to multiple state training sessions this summer. These teachers are collaborating and supporting colleagues throughout the transition to the Common Core State Standards.   In addition, five teachers have been selected from our school system as Core Trainers for The Tennessee Department of Education, and they will provide ongoing support for teachers.

Administrators and teachers are diligently working to provide the students of Lenoir City the necessary skills to be college and career ready.
