Appalachia Regional Comprehensive Center Webinars

The Appalachia Regional Comprehensive Center—in partnership with the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality—hosted two webinars for state officials in Tennessee who were committed to addressing the state’s equity problem. The first webinar, which took place in March 2007, highlighted strategies used by other states and the challenges and opportunities they encountered in collecting and analyzing equity data. The Tennessee Department of Education’s study of equity also was discussed. A follow-up webinar was held a month later. Two officials from the Tennessee Department of Education lead the webinar and released the results of a new study on equity.
