TEKS to TAKS Cross-Reference Website Your New Best Friend

This resource aids Family and Consumer Sciences educators in aligning Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) with Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) objectives. Although TAKS tests do not directly cover these courses, teachers are encouraged to integrate foundational skills in English, math, science, and social studies into their instruction. Through a series of collaborative meetings, experienced educators cross-referenced TEKS with TAKS, providing strategies to support student learning and tackle the burdens of curriculum alignment effectively.

  1. TEKS to TAKSCross-Reference WebsiteYour New Best Friend

  2. Why? • Although there is no TAKS test for Family and Consumer Sciences courses, all teachers are expected to support their students’ preparation for these tests by incorporating English, math, science and social studies basic skills into their courses. • Many administrators are asking teachers to document how their courses reinforce the TAKS objectives.

  3. It is a daunting task to be proficient on your courses’ TEKS. • Add to that the need to be familiar with the TAKS objectives for English, math, science, and social studies. • You then have the makings of teacher overload.

  4. Who? • Teachers who are teaching or have taught the courses volunteered to work on cross-referencing your TEKS with the TAKS. • March 6-7 • Apparel • Textile & Apparel Design • Housing • Interior Design

  5. When? • Six meetings were held from December to April. • Each meeting covered from one to four courses.

  6. Where? • Four of the meetings were held at the Curriculum Center at Texas Tech and one in Austin. • February 4-5 • Child Development • Preparation for Parenting • Individual and Family Life • Family Health Needs

  7. How? • Specialists in the 4 areas were consulted to explain the meaning and the intent of their TAKS objectives.

  8. Why did we cross-reference to the Curriculum Guides and Teacher’s Instructional Guides? Because the strategy used to teach a TEKS determines which TAKS objective will be reinforced.

  9. For example, • Housing (4) (A) • “The student is expected to apply elements and principles of design to living environments.”

  10. If the teacher has students research the subject, then • English/language arts 1(8)(B) • If the students draw floor plans for arranging furniture, then • Math 7(e)(2)(D) • If the students analyze the effects of changing the traffic patterns through a building, then • Social studies 5 (US 24) (B)
