What Are The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)?
What Are The TEKS?
!
The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (or TEKS for short) is a list of what you need to know and
what you should be able to do by the time you finish a course in any subject area. If you went to
any school in the state of Texas since Kindergarten, your teachers were provided with the TEKS for
what they were teaching.
!
Why Are They Important?
!
It is important to know what the TEKS are so you know what is expected of you during the year.
Also, since you are going to be assessed by a state exam (STAAR) this year, the TEKS let you know
what information might be on the test.
!
Where Can I Find Them?
!
The TEKS are posted on the Texas Education Agency’s website found at ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/
tac/chapter113/ch113c.html. You can also search for them on the internet by using “U.S. History
Since 1877 TEKS” as your keywords.
!
How Do I Read Them?
!
At first glance, the TEKS for any subject look like an outline for a research paper.
!
! (3) History. The student understands the political, economic, and social changes in the
! United States from 1877 to 1898. The student is expected to:
!
!
(A) analyze political issues such as Indian policies, the growth of political machines,
!
civil service reform, and the beginnings of Populism;
!
!
(B) analyze economic issues such as industrialization, the growth of railroads, the
!
growth of labor unions, farm issues, the cattle industry boom, the rise of
!
entrepreneurship, free enterprise, and the pros and cons of big business;
!
!
(C) analyze social issues affecting women, minorities, children, immigrants,
!
urbanization, the Social Gospel, and philanthropy of industrialists; and
!
!
(D) describe the optimism of the many immigrants who sought a better life in
!
America.
!
! How the TEKS look online
!
!
They appear like that because they are part of the Texas Education Code (TEC) and the Texas
Administrative Code (TAC). In other words, they are part of state law.

What Are The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)?
What Am I Looking At?
!
When you look at the TEKS, they seem complicated at first. However, when you first look at anything
new, you tend to look at different pieces before understanding the big picture. For example, when
you are shown a picture, most will look at the different details before determining whether or not
you like the picture as a whole. Understanding the TEKS and what you need to know by the end of the
year is like the same thing.
!
What Are The Parts Of The TEKS?
!
Whether you are in science, social studies, math, language arts, band, or physical education, there
are TEKS that outline what is to be taught. No matter which subject area, all TEKS have four basic
parts.
!
Part 1: The Strand
!
The strand is a group of TEKS that have a common theme or concept that they share. In social
studies, there are eight different strands that the TEKS are classified by:
!
1. History - The people, places, and events
2. Geography - How people affect the planet, how people affect people, and how the planet
affects people
3. Economics - How people/governments create/lose wealth
4. Government - How different types of governments are created, how they operate, and how
they change over time
5. Citizenship - How people in different societies participate in government
6. Culture - How different societies live and interact with other societies
7. Science, Technology and Society - How advancements in technology, science, and medicine
affect societies
8. Social Studies Skills - How to develop research, reading, thinking, writing, and
communication skills
!
Part 2: The Knowledge Statement
!
The knowledge statement is always the sentence that follows a number in the TEKS. The
knowledge statement gives you the big idea or concept that has to be understood.
!
Part 3: The Student Expectation
!
The student expectation is the part of the TEKS that always follow a letter in the TEKS. The
student expectation tells you exactly what you need to know as it relates to the knowledge
statement.
!
More importantly, student expectations are not just lists of stuff you have to memorize and
repeat back. They tell you how much you have to understand something and how you are going
to show how well you know it.

What Are The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)?
So What Do I Do?
!
The important thing to remember when looking at the TEKS is understanding exactly what you
need to know and how you can explain it back to someone else. Before going any further, lets take
some time to break down a few of the TEKS for U.S. History for practice.

(3) History. The student understands the political, economic, and
social changes in the United States from 1877 to 1898. The student
is expected to:
!
Student
Expectations
(A) analyze political issues such as Indian policies, the growth of
political machines, civil service reform, and the beginnings of
Populism;
(B) analyze economic issues such as industrialization, the
growth of railroads, the growth of labor unions, farm issues, the
cattle industry boom, the rise of entrepreneurship, free
enterprise, and the pros and cons of big business;
(C) analyze social issues affecting women, minorities, children,
immigrants, urbanization, the Social Gospel, and philanthropy of
industrialists; and
(D) describe the optimism of the many immigrants who sought a
better life in America.
So, in our example above, the student expectations (A-D) belong in the HISTORY strand.
Therefore, we know that the student expectations have to do with people, places, and events
from the past. Also, we read the stem and we then find out that the student expectations (A-D)
have something to do with the political, economic, and social changes in the United States during
the years 1877-1898. Finally, we read the student expectations to find out what specific things we
need to find out about and at what level do we need to understand them.

!
!
(D) describe the optimism of the many immigrants who sought a better life in
!
America.
!
!
!
To take a deeper look, let’s take one student expectation and make a sentence out of it:
!
(3) (A) The student is expected to analyze political issues such as
Indian policies, the growth of political machines, civil service
reform, and the beginnings of Populism.
!
Now, break down the sentence into pieces:

of the beginnings of Populism.
Keep in mind that the four items listed above are things that were going on from 1877-1898. (We
know this from the Stem portion)
!
Notice that the word analyze is underlined in each of the sentences above. Another important
feature of the student expectations is the verb. All student expectations have verbs and the state
uses different verbs throughout the TEKS. The verbs are clues to how much you know about a
certain topic.
!
Sometimes, the state expects you to identify (recall) something. Other times, the state wants you
to analyze (examine what something means and understand why something is important) people,
places, and events. Therefore, it is important to look at the entire sentence to find out not only
the what you need to know but also the skills you need to use.

Returning to Breaking It Down
!
Now we have examined one single student expectation, lets go back to it one more time to string
together what we need to do.
!
The student is expected to analyze political issues such as Indian
policies, the growth of political machines, civil service reform,
and the beginnings of Populism.
!
Now that we have defined what we have to know, we have to investigate political issues during the
years between 1877 and 1898 and:
!
• Define political machines, Indian policies, growth of political machines, civil service reform,
and the beginnings of Populism.
• Explain how political machines, Indian policies, growth of political machines, civil service
reform, and the beginnings of Populism were political issues during 1877 through 1898.
• Analyze how political machines, Indian policies, growth of political machines, civil service
reform, and the beginnings of Populism affected people and events politically during 1877
through 1898.
!
We have just examined one student expectation out of the 130 student expectations in U.S.
History Since 1877.
!
!
Putting All The Pieces Together:
!
If you examine the chart on Page 1, you will see the people, places, events and concepts that are
covered in your TEKS. It seems overwhelming in the beginning to look at all of the student
expectations and trying to figure out how all of this information will stay in your memory. That is
where this student profile comes in by helping you keep track of the different concepts, people,
places, and events that are found in this course.

What Are The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)?
The TEKS is not only about people, places, and events from the past. The TEKS are also about
developing your skills to think as a historian, economist, geographer, and political scientist. The
Social Studies Skills are a series of student expectations that are listed at the end of every subject
and grade level since Kindergarten. The reason they exist is because we want you to develop and
use your critical- thinking skills. You should also be able to use a variety of primary and secondary
source material to explain and apply different methods that historians use to understand and
interpret the past, including multiple points of view and historical context.
!
Basically, the state and your teachers want you to become a researcher and reporter of the past
and present. The way to accomplish this is to use a variety of rich primary and secondary source
material such as biographies, autobiographies, landmark cases of the U.S. Supreme Court, novels,
speeches, letters, diaries, poetry, songs, and artworks during the year.
!
When it comes to assessing your skills on STAAR, it is expected that you can analyze a visual and
draw a historical conclusion based on that visual. Look at the examples below to find out how
visuals can make a question more difficult:
Example 1
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s goal concerning the Supreme Court was to
A) increase ethnic and racial diversity
B) insure support for New Deal legislation
C) appoint justices who would use a strict interpretation of the Constitution
D) strengthen judicial independence
Base your answer to question 34 on the cartoon

What is the STAAR End of Course Exam?
The reason why is it so important to know what the TEKS say is because the STAAR exam is based
exactly on the TEKS. The U.S. History exam has four different reporting categories. Each of the
categories have a certain amount of questions assigned to them. As you can see in the Blueprint below,
the state has taken the 8 strands of Social Studies and grouped them into the 4 categories.

The Blueprint above is how the state designs all of the U.S. History exams. One thing that is mentioned
at the top of the table, that the Social Studies Skills from the TEKS will be tested at the same time they
are testing any of the 68 questions. (More information on the Social Studies Skills can be found in the
previous pages) The Blueprint tells you that the assessment can pick questions from 109 (116 if you
include the skills student expectations) of the student expectations for your course. (This book will
show you which ones are assessed) Also, the Blueprint lets you know how many questions you are going
to answer, 68.
!
While on the surface, it seems that if you just focused on the History TEKS, you should be able to pass.
However, a 44% is not considered passing on the STAAR. Also, the other categories support historical
concepts and events. Therefore, it is important to concentrate on the TEKS as a whole, not just pieces.
!
The next question many students ask is, “How many questions do I need to answer correctly?” This is a
difficult question to answer due to the fact that it depends on when you started high school as a
freshman. It also depends on how the state rates the difficulty of the assessment you took, since it can
change from year to year. What all of this means, is that it can change from year to year on how many
questions a student needs to get correct in order to be considered having a passing grade.

2012given assessment, if you can do the actions in
how many questions you need to get correct onApril
any
the Level II and Level III categories, you will do well on the assessment!
!
One suggestion to get ready for the STAAR assessment is to constantly use your thinking and
questioning skills to find out the stories behind the history. Do not be afraid to ask questions of
why things happened and why people thought the way that they did. Do not stop at just reading a
paragraph from a book. Use reliable sources on the internet to research what you are learning.
Find the speeches and documents to bring the words of past leaders alive. Most importantly,
connect everything together since one event always has an effect that leads to another event.
!
As mentioned before, this book is a starting place to better understand the background
information. It also provides a framework to better understand the skills you will need for this
course and how you may be assessed. However, it will be up to you and your classmates to dig up
the past and to think as historians!
