TEXAS ADULT EDUCATION CONTENT STANDARDS
Content Standards describe what learners should know and be able to do within a specific content area.
Benchmarks reflect exit abilities, NRS levels reflect entrance abilities.
Each level builds with increasing degrees of complexity and decreasing levels of teacher guidance
TEXAS COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
STANDARDS
TEXAS COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS STANDARDS 79th Texas Legislature, Third Called Special Session, House
Bill 1, the“Advancement of College Readiness in Curriculum.”
Texas Education CodeSection 28.008 reads “to increase the number of
students who are collegeand career ready when they graduate high school.”
(2006) These standards specify what students must know and be able
to do to succeedin entry-level courses at postsecondary institutions in Texas.
The legislation required the Texas Education Agency (TEA)and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)
to establish Vertical Teams (VTs) to develop College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) in the areas of English/language arts, mathematics,
science, and social studies. Vertical Teams were composed of secondary and
postsecondary faculty. Adopted by THECB in January, 2008

English/Language Arts Standards
Mathematics Standards
Cross-Disciplinary Standards
Social Studies Standards
CROSS DISCIPLINARY STANDARDSCDS are divided into two main groups, namely the Key Cognitive skills
and the Foundational skills. Each group of skills has a number of learned behaviors that teachers should seek to develop in students
with the expectation that students demonstrate them upon completion.
KEY COGNTIVE SKILLS FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Intellectual curiosity Reading across the curriculum
Reasoning Writing across the curriculum
Problem solving Research across the curriculum
Academic behaviors Use of data
Work habits Technology
Academic integrity
GENERAL DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN STANDARDS
Differences between Texas Adult Ed. Content Standards and Texas College and Career Readiness Standards
Texas Adult Ed. Content Standards Texas College and Career Readiness Standards
They differ in their focus:•On basic academic survival skills •On academic preparation
They vary in the content detail that they provide:
•Contain minimal detailed content •Contain detailed descriptions of the standards and the skills expected
They define the quality of their graduates or products differently:
•Focus on GED completion •Focus on college expectations
The way they are organized differs :
•Are progressively arranged, moving the learner through a series of advancing skills through levels
•Present related but specific skills each of which must be mastered by students
