2 Texas Middle School Fluency Assessment: Administering and Interpreting Results
This binder details how to score and interpret the results of the Texas Middle School Fluency Assessment (TMSFA). This course is Unit 4 of the Texas Adolescent Literacy Academy (TALA). These materials are available for view only; no credit or certificate is provided.
6 Introduction to Integrating Science into CTE Classrooms, Part 1
Learn how to integrate science into your existing CTE curriculum by identifying science embedded in the curriculum, recognizing the scientific practices, and understanding the five core principles and six essential elements of an effective science-enhanced CTE lesson plan. Please note, this is part 1 of a two-part course on integrating Science into CTE classrooms. Participants must complete both parts 1 and 2 to meet the professional development requirements for CPE hours.This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered. The course will be available for credit in summer 2020.
7 Introduction to Integrating Science into CTE Classrooms, Part 2
Before you begin this part, please ensure you have successfully completed Introduction to Integrating Science Part 1 in order to meet the professional development requirements of the course for CPE hours. Apply effective strategies to an existing lesson CTE lesson plan to begin integrating science into your curriculum. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered. The course will be available for credit in summer 2020.
5 Introduction to Integrating Math into CTE Classrooms, Part 1
Learn how to integrate math into your existing CTE curriculum by identifying the mathematical concepts embedded in the curriculum, and learn the seven essential elements of an effective math-enhanced CTE lesson plan. Please note, this is part 1 of a two-part course on integrating Math into CTE classrooms. Participants must complete both parts 1 and 2 to meet the professional development requirements for CPE hours. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.

84 CTE Work-Based Learning
This course introduces basic laws, rules, and procedures relevant to teaching Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses that involve work-based learning (WBL) at the secondary school level in Texas. Because state and federal laws change frequently, it also explains how to find current laws, rules, and guidelines related to WBL. Teachers will learn what authentic WBL is and how to ensure students learn the skills and knowledge appropriate for their career pathway through collaborative partnerships with local employers. This material is available for view only in the Texas Gateway and a certificate is not awarded. Referenced quizzes are not available.
New Resource Link to Test
Here's the new resource link to test. Let's hope this is a go!
A Lesson in Kindness and Thematic Complexity
Students explore their internal definition of kindness, using visual and textual evidence to collaboratively expand that definition and perform a close reading of a poem. Students then use internal text to express the author’s complex and subtle thematic message.
Types of Motion
Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.
Types of Science Investigations
Students will distinguish between descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations.
Experimental Design
Given investigation scenarios and lab procedures, students will identify independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and control groups.
Protein Synthesis
The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.
Cell Comparisons
Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.
Mechanisms of Evolution Beyond Natural Selection
Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.
Evidence for Evolution
Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.
Introduction to Plate Tectonics
This resource is intended to use for Tier I classroom instruction.
Human Impact
This resource can be used, in conjunction with best practices, for Tier I classroom instruction.
Energy and Matter in Cells
Learners compare changes in matter that take place during energy conversion processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Vertical Alignment Charts for Revised Mathematics TEKS
This resource provides vertical alignment charts for the revised mathematics TEKS.
Energy and Matter in Ecosystems
Learners analyze food chains, webs, and pyramids to determine how energy flows and matter cycles through ecosystems.
