Thursday
**Year I Interns** > The cognitive domain of Bloom's Taxonomy is used to plan objectives and goals for student learning. Using Bloom's Taxonomy as a guide, each state 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 each 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. > > [|Education and Training TEKS] > > On individual index cards, identify three TEKS in this course that have been covered. List an activity that covered each TEKS you selected. > Example: **//1C - demonstrate personal characteristics needed by teaching and training professionals.//** Students participated in the Image Scrimmage which had them exhibit skills in public speaking, presentation, and responding professionally to questions. > > What will I need to know about the TEKS? How can I use these at my field site? > You will use the the TEKS as a starting point to plan learning activities, lesson and educational units for the students in your classroom. > > Navigate to the TEKS:

 * Scroll down page to **//TEKS by Chapter//** or **//TEKS by Grade//** if you intern at an elementary school**//.//** Look through the TEKS for your grade level. Identify the section which corresponds to the subject your students are studying while you are at your field site. Example: If your students are in 3rd grade and do science and reading while you are at your field site campus, find the TEKS that correspond to 3rd grade math and science.
 * Try to find one TEKS that corresponds to what the children were doing in the classroom during your first few days at your field site classroom.
 * Bookmark the TEA website as a favorite on your MacBook and save this source in your Diigo account. You will be using it more!
