BECAUSE KIDS MATTER
Founded in 1971, Tennessee Educational Cooperative (TEC) is a public nonprofit agency formed by local school systems in East Tennessee. The agency is governed by a board of directors including member school system directors, school board members, and county commissioners. TEC promotes collaboration among member school systems to develop needed educational services in the region. The Cooperative provides a variety of services to member and non-member school systems in East Tennessee and throughout the state.
TEC’s Mission is to help ALL children reach their full potential by partnering with families, schools, and communities in Tennessee.
Our Commitment:
We will provide high quality, evidenced-based support to school & families, and communities. We will support teachers, services providers, and caregivers through continued education, training, & mentoring. Most of all we will empower children by promoting their abilities, giving needed support, and encouraging families, schools, and communities to be involved in the education and development of their children.
