How do the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Fine Arts differ from the Essential Elements (EEs)?
Within each strand, grade level, and course, the TEKS focus on fewer topics in greater depth than the EEs did–with increased relevance and rigor. The TEKS establish standards for increased student achievement and are written in terms of what students should learn instead of what teachers should teach. The TEKS provide flexibility for local districts, campuses, and teachers to make curricular decisions about teaching techniques, methodologies, and activities.
