Breakdown of the Biology TEKS:

Below is a TEKS Snapshot for Biology.  This document from Lead4ward shows the Biology Readiness TEKS in Green, Supporting TEKS in Yellow, and Scientific Processing Standards in Blue.  This is a breakdown of each Biology TEK that is tested on the Biology EOC STAAR Exam.  It shows the breakdown of how the state of Texas will weigh certain TEKS on the STAAR Exam.  The column listed as "STAAR", shows the average number of questions on the STAAR Exam that is asked for each category.  REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A ESTIMATED BASED ON PAST STAAR EXAMS, meaning that the number of questions for each category can vary year to year.  I like to show this, so students know what to expect going into the STAAR Exam.  Throughout the year, students will be exposed to STAAR test simulation questions, learn test taking tips, and practice multiple-coded STAAR questions.  MY GOAL IS TO HAVE THE STUDENT FEEL PREPARED and CONFIDENT going into the STAAR Exam in May!
