Curriculum and Pacing
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) provides curriculum standards statewide, which outline what students should know and be able to do in each course or grade, called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The ELAR standards provide a framework to support the curriculum, assessments, and instruction.
Each grade level scope and sequence provides an outline of the standards and a recommended teaching order. As you go through the FISD scope and sequence documents, you will find a system of letters and numbers that reference specific TEKS covered within each cluster (unit). This system of letters and numbers corresponds with standards within the TEKS. You may access the TEKS to learn more about these specific concepts and skills.
