FILE - In a Friday, Sept. 20, 2013 file photo, Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman speaks to the Senate Education Committee about common core standards during a hearing in Nashville, Tenn. When Tennessee was competing for a half-billion dollars in federal education money, teachers agreed to allow the state to ramp up its use of student test scores for evaluating educators. But since winning the $500 million Race to the Top competition in 2010, teachers say the state has gone too far in using student test scores to assess their performance. They are now calling for legislation to place a moratorium on the use of so-called TVASS scores until a special committee can review them. (AP Photo/Erik Schelzig, File)
