Changed font to a sans sarif font and lighter font to navy for better projection in a large room. I left the title font as is, though, as that makes a good design element. I also inserted initial caps. This is a design decision, but should be consistent throughout--later slides use initial caps.

• Pathway Knowledge and Skills

Texas Standards

• Foundational Academic Standards

• College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS)

• English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS)

Knowledge and Skill Standards

Each Set of Standards is a Curriculum Framework

The standards:

State what students are expected to know and

be able to do

Are divided into strands of similar skills and

concepts for use in planning

Are meant to be integrated and taught in

context

The standards are NOT meant to:

Replace a scope and sequence

Provide specific instructional routines
