Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
In May 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature passed HB 3485, requiring the State Board of Education by rule to revise the essential knowledge and skills for career and technical education not later than September 1, 2009.
The SBOE appointed writing teams to make recommendations for revisions to the CTE Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. Writing teams have been working since Spring 2008 to review the current CTE TEKS and make recommendations for revisions.
Scope and Sequence Workshop, April 2009
The UNT grant project staff would like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to the CTE educators who developed Scope and Sequence documents to support the implementation of the proposed Career and Technical Education (CTE) TEKS in 2010-2011. The Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security Cluster group developed eleven documents over a two-day period. Way to go!
