Why?

• Although there is no TAKS test for Family and
  Consumer Sciences courses, all teachers are
  expected to support their students preparation
  for these tests by incorporating English, math,
  science and social studies basic skills into
  their courses.

• Many administrators are asking teachers to
  document how their courses reinforce the TAKS
  objectives.

• It is a daunting task to be proficient on your
  courses TEKS.
• Add to that the need to be familiar with the TAKS
  objectives for English, math, science, and social
  studies.
• You then have the makings of teacher overload.

5
Who?

• Teachers who are teaching or have taught the
  courses volunteered to work on cross-referencing
  your TEKS with the TAKS.

Why did we cross-reference to the Curriculum
Guides and Teachers Instructional Guides?

• Because the strategy used to teach a TEKS
  determines which TAKS objective will be
  reinforced.

14
For example,

• Housing (4) (A)
• The student is expected to apply elements and
  principles of design to living environments.

15

• If the teacher has students research the subject,
  then
• English/language arts 1(8)(B)
• If the students draw floor plans for arranging
  furniture, then
• Math 7(e)(2)(D)
• If the students analyze the effects of changing
  the traffic patterns through a building, then
• Social studies 5 (US 24) (B)
