US History 8th Grade TEKS Checklists and Signs

Give this TEKS checklist to your 8th grade social studies Texas students at the beginning of each new unit. Read and discuss the TEKS with your classes so that you are transparent in your expectations and learning intentions.

This product includes an explanation of what TEKS are and why they matter! In addition, you will receive a checklist with each TEK from each unit for students to check off as they grow confident in their understanding of this unit. (This can also help you as a teacher insure that you are hitting each TEK before each unit exam.)

This 43 page product includes the knowledge, skills, and technology standards for the entire year (Exploration through Reconstruction) for Texas 8th grade U.S. History teachers.

Display these TEKS signs as reminders of what they are learning in class today! I believe that students understanding the TEKS for the course is essential for them succeeding on the STAAR test.

I personally tape a few page protectors to my white board at the beginning of the year and slide in the TEKS sign(s) for the day! Not only does this help students focus on their learning goal for the day, but your admin will be impressed and you won't have to research and write the TEKS down each day!

These TEKS signs cover Early America through the Era of Reconstruction (1877) in American History classes in Texas.
