Notice the 5th grade math Year at a Glance above. The standards have been color coded to emphasize their importance. All assessed grade level YAGs have been updated like the YAG above. 

• Readiness Standards are color coded RED
• Supporting Standards are color coded GREEN
• Process Standards are color coded PURPLE. 
• Non-assessed Standards are color code BLACK.

It is critical that teachers know the significance of these labels. These labels help teachers know what standards they need to teach at a very deep level. This helps teachers when they are planning lessons, compacting curriculum, or expanding curriculum. A knowledge of the different types of standards is so important for growing and supporting our students!

If your teachers do not know the significance of these labels please contact the General Education Department at Region 12 for support.

Information Session | May 28, 2019 | 2 pm - 4 pm

• Assessment items aligned to the unit in the first six weeks will be posted in June.
• Assessment Items aligned to the units in the first and second six weeks will be posted prior to the start of school. 

• Integrated Physics and Chemistry (IPC) AND Biology have different versions available in the TEKS Resource System. Please have your science teachers take this quick survey to give us feedback on the version they are using:   http://bit.ly/SCICourseVersions
• Please reference this slide deck for additional Science Updates. 

• Our streamlining work continues. In reality there were only a handful of deletions made by the state.
• Most of the changes you will see in assessment items and curriculum is simply renumbering standards. 
• Due to split implementation by the state, grades 6-12 will reflect changes for the 2019-20 school year. Expect to see those changes starting mid-June.

The TEKS Resource System 101: Foundation Training for Educators is specifically designed for NEW TEKS Resource System users. Through investigation and discussion, participants will develop a solid understanding of each component and how to effectively navigate the online system. Using the system to meet the needs of all students will be addressed.
