2025 Tennessee Educator Survey Snapshot: Math Curriculum and Supports

The 2025 Tennessee Educator Survey Snapshots offer quick, accessible insights from educators on some of the most important issues in our schools—including artificial intelligence, cell phone policies, student discipline, match curriculum and supports, career and technical education, early career teachers, and teacher evaluation and retention. These one-pagers highlight what teachers are seeing and experiencing right now, providing valuable perspective to inform conversations about policy and practice across the state.

• Key Insight #1: Three out of four math teachers agreed or strongly agreed that they can deliver high-quality lessons using the curriculum as designed. High school math teachers were particularly satisfied with their curriculum.
• Key Insight #2: Nearly three-quarters of math teachers reported that district-selected benchmark assessments align well with the curriculum, and over half said their school’s RTI framework aligns with the math curriculum to a moderate or large extent.
• Key Insight #3: Compared to elementary and middle school math teachers, high school math teachers reported receiving fewer math teaching supports such as math PLCs, coaching, and walk-throughs and feedback cycles.
