The Tennessee Department of Education has created a “School Closure Toolkit for Families” to provide a number of resources that can be used to support at-home learning during periods of school closure.
The toolkit is designed to provide home learning resources, to help parents find where to get meals for their children, and to offer guidance and ideas to keep students engaged in learning even outside of the classroom.
In the toolkit, you can find a list of best practices and reminders, examples of daily schedules appropriate for each grade level, and links to tons of educational websites and other online resources.

The Tennessee Department of Education has also secured a partnership with the state’s PBS stations to deliver daily instructional content for Tennessee students during COVID-19 school closures. Starting April 6, Tennessee’s six PBS stations— WNPT Nashville, East Tennessee PBS, WCTE Upper Cumberland, WKNO Memphis, West TN PBS, and Chattanooga WTCI— will deliver two hours of programming with high-quality instructional content from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. CST.
