TExGuide with ESC Region 13

TExGuide provides teachers with a bridge between curriculum, aligned resources, and instructional planning. TExGuides increase the efficiency and quality of lesson planning for teachers, which directly impact student learning outcomes. TExGuides are aligned with TEKS Resource System curriculum, including the scope and sequence of instructional units. Each TExGUIDE Unit Document includes:

  • Unit overview and key understandings

  • Unit vocabulary with corresponding activities

  • Student expectations with aligned engagement activities and sample learning

  • Experiences and formative assessments

  • Sample unit assessment

    • The sample assessments are intended to be a sample bank for teachers to use when creating their own assessments based on the units. We encourage teachers to review the sample prior to deciding which questions to use in their own created assessments.

    • We do not recommend that districts require the use of TExGUIDE sample unit assessments in their classrooms when assessing student understanding.

  • Unit resources derived from the TEKS Resource System
