Which organization is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the TEKS?

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is the organization responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). TEKS outlines the academic standards for what students are expected to learn at each grade level across various subjects in Texas public schools. The TEA establishes these standards, provides guidance and resources for their implementation, and ensures compliance among local school districts.

As part of its role, the TEA evaluates educational programs, assesses school performance, and supports districts in achieving educational goals aligned with TEKS. This oversight is crucial for maintaining consistent educational quality statewide, making TEA central to the management of Texas education standards.
