Facts about the TEKSThe TEKS are a framework for curriculum development. They were NEVER intended to be the curriculum.
TEKS do have including and such as statements.
• 7.4B Use preventative safety equipment,
including chemical splash goggles,
aprons, and gloves and be prepared
to use emergency safety equipment,
including an eye/face wash, a fire
blanket, and a fire extinguisher.• 6.3C Identify advantages and limitations of
models such as size, scale, properties, and materials.
Facts about the TEKSMany have nothing at all as far as specificity!
**Example—Science 5.6DTEKS and SE’s are different.
5.6 is one of the TEKS. 5.6D is an SE which fall below the TEKS.
5.6 Force, motion and energy. The
student knows that energy occurs in
many forms and can be observed in
cycles, patterns, and systems. The
student is expected to:
5.6D Design an experiment that tests the effect of force on an object.

TEKS Revisions
• Purpose: To add clarity and specificity.• ELA taught this year. Tested 2010/2011.• Science taught 2010-2011. Tested 2011-2012.• Social Studies taught 2011-2012. Tested 2012-
2013. • Math TEKS will be revised in 2012-2013.• Although becoming clearer, it’s still NOT enough!• CSCOPE has created “Specificities” to help you.• Word of the day?
–SPECIFICITY!
So what does CSCOPE
have to offer?
CSCOPE Curriculum Resources
• CSCOPE covers the 4 core subjects K-12:– ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science. – Teachers have access to all four K-12 tools
regardless of assignment.• CSCOPE has 5 main documents:
– Vertical Alignment Document (VAD)– Year at-a-Glance (YAG)– Instructional Focus Document (IFD)– Unit Assessments– Exemplar Lessons
Vertical Alignment Document (VAD)
Standards 12-K in the Core Content Areas
Creation of the VAD(Vertical Alignment Document)Adding Clarity and Specificity to the TEKS through the use of released TAKS tests, TAKS information booklets, TEA produced study guides, Dana Center materials, etc.
Alignment of TEKS from a 12-K perspective
Begin with the end in mind!
Vertical Alignment Document(VAD)
• The “What” of Teaching• Visually represents
students’ learning for their entire academic career
• Provides specificity• Supports a vertical
continuum• Identifies tested standards• Reflects most current
information
What
Year at a Glance: TEKS bundled into
coherent units of study
14 days
10 days
6 days
Year At A Glance(YAG)
• “Scope and Sequence” • Topics, order, and suggested timing.• Flex time. • Tested taught prior to TAKS.• Coherent units of study.• Print and highlight tested TEKS.

How do you envision the Year at a Glance
supporting your instruction?
The Year at a Glance will support my instruction by… Provides a suggested timeline to ensure that
each standard is taught within a school year Addresses all testable TEKS prior to TAKS
administration Sequences instruction so students spend
more time on the important standards for each grade level

Unit Assessments:Aligning the written, tested,
and taught curriculum
Unit Assessments
• Aligned to the Instructional Focus Document • Grades K-1 performance based• Grades 2-12 written assessments• Unit assessments
– multiple choice– open-ended– griddable items– prompt-based– SAT/ACT format
Unit Assessments(Pre-Planning Tool)
• Analyze the unit assessment before instruction• Read the assessment through the lens of your
students• Anticipate challenges/obstacles • Purposefully plan instruction for this unit with
those identified challenges/obstacles in mind• Analyze your graded unit assessments to reflect
on instruction/intervention strategies
Lesson Frameworks:Detailed Daily Lesson Plans
The 5E Model• Engage
– Attention grabbing activities to tap into student’s prior knowledge.
• Explore– Investigative opportunities to discover new learning;
constructivist approach to learning• Explain
– Student explains their findings from the exploration portion of the lesson. Teacher formalize the students knowledge of the content.
• Elaborate– Extension; makes connections
• Evaluate– Performance Indicator: Your summative assessment
Exemplar Lessons
• The “How”• Adheres to the
content and cognitive expectations of the standards
• 5E/Balanced Literacy• A comprehensive
guide to instruction
