  1. Breaking Down Course Standards

  2. TEKS – Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills • Sometimes referred to as “Standards” • Last rewritten/revised for CTE in 2010 • TEKS for all courses can be found at the following link: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148

  3. Breaking down the TEKS • Knowledge and Skills statements can be broken down into three parts: 1. Concept 2. Context 3. Cognitive Level

  4. Concept – an abstract or generic idea • What we often call “the topic” • It’s the generic ‘what’ we are going to teach • For example: place value, main idea “The student is expected to practice equipment maintenance and sanitation procedures”

  5. Context: the interrelated conditions in which something exists • The degree to which we will teach the concept • The conditions in which the concept is presented • For example, using pictures, numbers, words “The student is expected to demonstrate personal fire prevention precautions while working in natural environments”

  6. Cognitive Level – the verb • Performance Level • The skill level to which the student must be able to show mastery • For example ‘the verb’….use, describe, explore The student is expected to identify plants poisonous to domestic livestock

  7. Pair and Share • Pair up with another teacher who teaches the same subject as you • Go to the TEKS for a course you both teach • Find one Knowledge and Skill statement and identify the Concept, Context, and Cognitive Level • Be prepared to share you findings with the group!

  8. Pair and Share • Go to the TEKS for a core academic subject (math, science, ELAR, SS) • Select a knowledge and skill statement that’s closely related to the CTE subject TEKS you broke down earlier • Identify the concept, context, and cognitive level for this core academic knowledge and skill statement • Determine how you could teach this core academic concept in your CTE subject instruction

  9. Questions for thought, discussion & action • How can we teach breaking down CTE and Core Academic TEKS and make it appealing to the majority of BISD CTE Instructors? • What activities can we develop that will demonstrate and reinforce integration of Core Academic TEKS with CTE TEKS? • How can we motivate teachers to continually strive to integrate core academic TEKS with their CTE subject matter?
