In a virtual learning environment, participants will closely read and deconstruct the revised ELAR TEKS for implementation. Participants will review the current and revised TEKS and thoroughly analyze the verbs and potential outcomes. There will be a chance to practice with each strand in order to fully understand what students are asked to know and do with an emphasis on vertical alignment in grade-level bands. Professional learning will be separated into seven short, separate sessions. Participants can attend one or all seven sessions.
