Call for Social Studies Work Group Applicants

The Texas State Board of Education is calling for applicants to participate in Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills social studies work groups, as part of an SBOE review and revision process for Kindergarten through 12th grade curriculum standards.

"A full revision of the TEKS consists of reviewing and modifying the existing standards or developing new standards for a particular subject area or CTE career cluster. A full revision is conducted to ensure that the standards are rigorous, reflect current topics and up-to-date research, and address the essential knowledge and skills at the appropriate grade levels," stated the SBOE website.

A variety of people can be a part of the TEKS review work groups, including classroom teachers, campus and district-level administrators/specialists, education service center subject-area personnel, representatives from higher education, and community members, including parents and employers.
