The 2025 process is promising to be interesting. Revision is currently in the Content Advisors phase, during which the SBOE member-nominated experts create a framework for revision. Texas Tribune has more background on specific advisors who have drawn scrutiny: www.texastribune.org/2025/11/14/t...
Show PostGood morning! Texas is revising its K-12 social studies standards (TEKS) for 5.5 million kids, & the State Board of Education (SBOE) is meeting today to discuss their progress today. I will be live-tweeting (posting?) about anything that concerns social studies. Follow this thread for updates!
