 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Each state's education agency develops a set of objectives and goals for the classes taught within the schools in that state. Texas has a set of objectives for every class that can be taught in public schools. These objectives are called Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills or TEKS. Open the link below and take a look at the TEKS for this class.

Students participated in the Image Scrimmage which had them exhibit skills in public speaking, presentation, and responding professionally to questions.
