Teaching Strategies for Texas

Full-Subject Materials, Temporary License: Prekindergarten 

Freely available through November 2023

The Creative Curriculum® for Texas by Teaching Strategies provides a research-based digital curriculum built on all ten domains of the Texas prekindergarten guidelines and the specific dual-language needs of Texas. This program supports the whole child in becoming a creative, confident, and caring learner. All resources are available in English and Spanish. Educators gain access to the digital content library with comprehensive classroom resources, including teaching guides, fiction and nonfiction children’s books, and assessments to drive instruction.

As part of contingency planning for the disruptions of COVID, TEA acquired temporary, statewide licenses for the Creative Curriculum® for Texas by Teaching Strategies, and it has been freely available for Texas schools as part of the state’s emergency response. As part of the emergency procurement process, TEA conducted a limited review of the content for Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) coverage and quality.

COVID-19 Notice 

In the early stages of the COVID-19 impact on schools, TEA went through a rapid review process to support schools with instructional material resources that could be used both in person and remotely as a contingency option. As a result, certain instructional materials were made available on a rapid timeline in 2020 and have been subject to multiple rounds of revisions. Given the timeline for development, errors are to be expected, but the agency remains committed to fixing issues as they are identified. To ensure robust review, feedback is being gathered from parents, caregivers, educators, and organizations across the state. This feedback will inform the continuous improvement of subsequent units and editions.

Help guide continuous improvement by taking our online survey. If you have questions or concerns about the instructional materials, please email us.
