Support for TEKS Resource System Districts

Our TEKS Resource System Team created guides for instructional leaders to utilize the existing TEKS Resource System as they create and scaffold online learning. These guides can be accessed by districts who subscribe and with provided login credentials. A sample Google Site has been created to illustrate how information can be shared with parents and assist them in supporting their child through online learning.
A video has been created that illustrates how the TEKS Resource System Guides can be utilized. A second sample video shows how the TEKS Resource System Guides can be applied with use of Google Classroom.
A demonstration Google Site was created as a sample for teachers to communicate instructional plans.

If you are not a current TEKS Resource System district subscriber you may contact the TEKS Resource System Team.

District Technology Department Resources

We have set up a dedicated technology departments resources page for school districts and charters that may be in need of resources pertaining to operating during Covid-19. We are continuing to update this page and our list serv as we receive new information on resources out on the market to help during this pandemic. If you have any needs during this time, ESC-20 Technology Services is here to help in any way we can with what resources we currently have. Please reach out to our Technology Liaison, Jennifer Smith at 210-370-5324.
