The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, or TEKS, are the state-mandated curriculum guidelines which establish what every student, from elementary school through high school, should know and be able to do. The State Board of Education adopted the TEKS on July 11, 1997, for implementation in September 1998.

The TEKS are used by districts, schools, and teachers to guide curriculum development, instructional materials selection, and lesson planning. They are a major component of the state’s accountability system. Additionally, the TEKS can help families and members of the community develop a clearer understanding of what is being taught in their schools.
All of the TEKS are available online at the Texas Education Agency or on the CCISD district web site in each of the curricular areas.
