What are our ‘Must Master’ TEKS? • Which 7-10 TEKS/concepts are the most important? • Endurance: Will the standard provide students with knowledge and skills beyond a single test date? • Leverage: Will the standard provide knowledge and skills that are of value in multiple disciplines? • Readiness for the Next Level: Will the standard provide the students with essential knowledge and skills that are necessary for their success in the next grade level?
Sample ‘Must Master’ TEKS • K.3A: Students identify the common sounds letters represent • Endurance: Key in developing reading skills including blending and decoding • Leverage: Letter sound knowledge is important in both reading and writing • Readiness for the Next Level: Skill is necessary to build reading and writing fluency
Developing our ‘Must Master’ TEKS • Going through a copy of the TEKS • Star the most important 7-10; students should know inside and out • Underline 3-5 that they are in the next level of priority – the nice-to-haves • Finalize list of must-haves
How are we doing? • Using the group-created list of must-haves, see how your students have done on them from CFA 1 to 3. • Why is this important?
Creating a Plan • Before creating your plan, think about why it was not mastered the first time. What was the misunderstanding? • Create your plan and strategies that will address those reasons. • Complete ‘must master’ TEKS re-teach/review plan • Complete 6 week instructional plan
