Curriculum Overview
Curriculum encompasses what we want students to know and be able to do after a specific course of study. The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) provide the roadmap for Texas schools and teachers charged with the responsibility of guiding students on their personal learning journey in grades K-12.
Students are assessed on the TEKS and Student Expectations at checkpoints in grades 3-11 by taking tests referred to as the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). More information about the TEKS and STAAR is available on the TEA webpage.
