Integrating TAKS/TEKS Student Expectations into Instruction Collaboratively |
|
Steps to successfully integrate TAKS/TEKS Student Expectations into collaboratively planned instruction for students in the Library: |
| 1. Ask for copies of the "Roadmap" from department chairs, grade level chairs, and/or principal. |
| 2. Ask for a copy of the "TAKS Summary Report - Test
Performance" (or ADM equivalent) for the campus from the principal. (see an example from the TEA web site) |
2a. Analyze the "TAKS Summary Report - Test Performance" to see where the lowest percentage scores occur. You will be identifying a TAKS objective for a certain grade level and subject of the TAKS test. For example 4th grade Reading TAKS objective 4. |
| 3.Go to our created web site that lists only the TAKS objectives and TEKS Student Expectations tested on the TAKS. |
3a. Pick the grade level and subject of the TAKS from the table. |
3b. Scroll down to find the TAKS objective listed in the left column. |
3c. Read the TEKS Student Expectations tested listed in the right column that correlate with the TAKS objective in the left column (those bolded are most likely to be taught easily in the Library). |
3d. Pick the TEKS Student Expectations you want to work on in your lessons. Refer back to the Roadmap in step #1 to help you know when TEKS are to be covered. |
| 4. Explore our web pages containing lessons correlated to the TEKS listed in the TEKS box at the top of the Library Resources page. |
| 5. Meet with the department or grade level and suggest ways in which you can help the teachers cover the identified TAKS objectives and TEKS Student Expectations. Remember, two educators covering the same TEKS Student Expectations lower the student to teacher ratio and will help the teacher cover the objective. Watch the score rise! |
| 6. Keep track of the collaboration, the TAKS you have chosen, the TEKS Student Expectations you have chosen, and the lessons you have delivered. Evaluate the same TAKS score next year to see how much effect you had. |
