CTE+TEKS

=CTE TEKS and Suggested Course Sequence=

Background
In May 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature passed HB 3485, requiring the State Board of Education (SBOE) by rule to revise the essential knowledge and skills for career and technical education not later than Sept. 1, 2009.

The SBOE appointed writing teams to make recommendations for revisions to the CTE Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Writing teams began work in the Spring 2008 to review the current CTE TEKS and make recommendations for revisions. Recommendations for revision of the TEKS were adopted by the SBOE at the July 2009 meeting.
