Abstract: The Tennessee Educator Survey (TES) is conducted annually in partnership between the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) and the Tennessee Education Research Alliance (TERA). The survey provides teachers, administrators, and certified staff the opportunity to share their experiences and perceptions about what is working and what improvements should be made in Tennessee schools. These insights offer policymakers and researchers critical feedback to better meet the needs of teachers and students. Key topics included in the TES have historically focused on school culture, state standards and assessments, instructional materials, and teacher evaluations, while also including annual questions on timely issues. This report highlights the major takeaways from the 14th annual TES administered in spring 2025 in eight areas: math curriculum and supports, teacher evaluation, early-career teacher supports, teacher retention, student discipline, career and technical education, cell phones, and artificial intelligence.
