The Tennessee Department of Education has been awarded more than $7.9 million from the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Labor through the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL).
Tennessee’s Instructional Leadership & Educator Development Grant will pilot strategies to enhance the statewide educator talent and development systems in high-need schools. This funding will support eligible school districts and public charter schools in developing educator leadership and mentoring pathways, strengthening educator evaluation, implementing strategic staffing, and providing incentives for educators.
