• Common vision• Common mission• Common beliefs
• Willingness to confront brutal facts
• Actively involved leadership

ON TARGET Standards Analysis
ON TARGET
A Quick Check1. What is a “Strand” in relation to the TEKS and
where do you find it in your TEKS?
2. How many “Strands” do you have in your subject area?
3. What is the difference between a “Knowledge & Skills Statement” and a “Student Expectation” from your TEKS?
4. How many “Knowledge & Skills Statements do you have in your TEKS?
5. What are the two most important components of your Student Expectations?

Note: From the strand to the knowledge & skills statement to
the student expectation, the information changes from broad to

2 important parts of an SE:1. CONTENT RIGOR

holes?
What will be the cumulative effect if every teacher knows the cognitive process and content of their TEKS?
