On this week’s episode of VoteTalks, Ashley Craven, candidate for Oak Ridge Board of Education, and her campaign manager, Chase Lindsey, sit down with Tanya Coates, the President of the Tennessee Education Association (TEA).
Tanya shares the TEA’s mission, its historical significance, and the role the TEA plays in supporting its members across Tennessee.
Discover the TEA's long-term and short-term goals, the challenges of operating in a non-collective bargaining state and the innovative strategies the TEA employs to influence education policy at both local and state levels. Tanya provides a compelling argument for why educators need a seat at the table when decisions about education are made.
Whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone interested in the future of public education in Tennessee, this episode offers perspectives on the importance of supporting and empowering our teachers.
