The most important thing to remember is that we want to ensure every student has a guaranteed and viable curriculum. We create that assurance by determining those “Need to Know” standards that possess the qualities of Readiness, Endurance, Assessed Over Time, and Leverage. The following TEKS per grade level are what we consider to be essential for all students to be successful by the end of the school year. Keep in mind that at the campus level your teams will continue to collaborate around the essentials for your campus.
