TN Pulse
Tennessee Plans for Learning Success and Excellence, or TN PULSE, provides a free, standardized, web-based platform for school districts, public charter schools, and state-operated programs (SOPs) and will serve as the state’s system of record for student learning plans, including Individual Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans for students with disabilities, Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) for English learners, and ILP-D plans for students with characteristics of dyslexia.
To support individualized learning for Tennessee students in alignment with the Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement (TISA) Act, the platform replaces the EasyIEP system, expands functionality and features by including all student learning plans, and allows users to track state and federal compliance.
