Instructional Materials

Instructional materials are any medium or a combination of media that convey the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) of a subject in the public-school curriculum to a student, including materials such as lesson plans or grading rubrics. 

Texas Education Agency (TEA) supports and coordinates the review and approval of instructional materials by the State Board of Education (SBOE), as well as provides oversight for their statewide use.
