The Curriculum and Instruction department provides instructional resources, leadership and training to support rigorous learning opportunities in the classroom, which result in successful completion of a high quality school experience for all students. The district curriculum is based upon the standards set by the Texas Education Agency known as the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). A major role of the department is to support a viable curriculum that is aligned with the state standards and provides the rigor and details for teachers to effectively deliver instruction to students.
