Using the Year At a Glance from the TEKS Resource System, educators will plan out upcoming instructional units. The TEKS Resource System has created revised YAGs for the 2022-2023. In some cases, days have been adjusted and in other cases, the unit placement has been adjusted. This was all done to produce a more balanced time commitment to literary and nonfiction text study along with an enhanced opportunity for cross-genre reading and writing skill practice. Educators will be taken through the rationale of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade YAG revisions. Also, resources and planning templates that encourage learning objectives, reading and writing connections, word study, and graphic organizers aligned to the Performance Assessments will be shared electronically. The focus of this day will be to plan the 3rd Six Weeks units as well as the beginning of the second semester. 10/19/22 Click Here to Register

Districts of innovation are NOT exempted from this statutory requirement. At this time, the reading instruments adopted by the commissioner include the four listed below:
Districts seeking to use an instrument for the 2022-2023 school year that is not on the current commissioner's list may request a waiver of the requirement to use a commissioner-adopted instrument, subject to application and approval. The alternate grade 7 reading instrument waiver must be submitted by December 30, 2022. Additional reading instruments are expected to be adopted in the 2022-2023 school year and the waiver is not expected to be made available beyond the 2022-2023 school year.
