What is, or who has, accountability for the quality of the TAKS and TEKS? Are they measured and what data is used to support the grade level appropriateness of TEKS?
Both the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum, and its corresponding Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), were designed and maintained by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) with input from state and national education experts. Questions continue to be reviewed and field tested before being widely circulated. RISD has no authority to alter TEKS or TAKS in any capacity.
