CHILDCARE CRISIS: That’s how @JoinTQEE describes the lack of affordable childcare in TN & the impact on families+businesses. 55% of Shelby Co. working parents of children under 6 reported employment disruptions due to inadequate childcare & 34 percent quit/were fired.

Less than 1/3 of West TN’s 3rd grade students tested on grade-level in Reading or Math. In response, @JoinTQEE created Bright Start West TN to accelerate early learning outcomes for these children from birth-3rd grade. Learn more: tqee.org/bright-start/west-t…. #BrightStartTN

Signed, and on their way to @GovBillLee!
We can no longer accept only 1/3 of our students are proficient in reading and math.

We know early reading matters. It has a lasting impact on the lives of children. Thrilled to launch ‘Reading 360,’ a $100M investment to provide resources, tools, and supports to help our strong TN schools continue to thrive and accelerate growth for kids. tn.gov/education/news/2021/1…

Thank you to our school nurses! You manage and administer medication to our kids with asthma; know when the solution for a kindergarten tummy ache means a call home or a hug; coordinate with hospitals; and provide needed and important medical care for many of our students. 💙❤️

#MNPSKReady Tip: Cooking is a great way for children to learn. When you're in the kitchen, let your child help you with the cooking process. Children can measure or count out ingredients, help stir ingredients in a bowl, wash vegetables or knead dough. Talk about the recipe too!

In addition to #PresidentsDay, today is also #RandomActsofKindnessDay! Babysit for free, start a meal train, or help a neighbor with yard work. The ways to serve are endless, but the idea is simple. Lend a hand where you see a need. #TennesseeServes

.@HaywoodSchools shares that high-quality materials provides equity for all learners because all students in every classroom have the same opportunities to build knowledge, develop vocabulary and discuss the content. #TNBestforALL

.@GovBillLee on literacy: "I’m introducing legislation to establish new, clearer standards for the training of new teachers and the development of current teachers, grounded in the evidence and science of reading, with proven methods like phonics-based instruction." #TNSOTS

Our kids DESERVE IT! 👏🏼👏🏼
Literacy is the foundation for a student’s educational journey, and we must get back on track before the critical third-grade milestone.
Tonight, we're recommending a new, comprehensive approach to literacy and setting clear standards for the training of our teachers. #TNSOTS
