Research & Policy Analysis

Equipped with equity-driven data and research, we work to create an education system that raises achievement and opportunity for all students in Tennessee.

Our research and policy agenda is driven by the Tennessee Alliance for Equity in Education’s core beliefs and priority issue areas. Our priorities are to promote accessible, rigorous, and affirming learning experiences; address funding and resource equity; increase educator diversity and quality; support students’ social, emotional, and academic development; and expand access and success in higher education. Our research and analysis is designed to drive effective policy decisions and equip advocates with evidence to influence those policies. By leveraging data and insights from our communities, we aim to develop solutions that promote equity and excellence in education for all students across the state.
