COVID-19 NoticeÌý

In the early stages of the COVID-19 impact on schools, TEA went through a rapid review process to support schools with instructional material resources that could be used both in person and remotely as a contingency option. As a result, certain instructional materials were made available on a rapid timeline in 2020 and have been subject to multiple rounds of revisions. Given the timeline for development, errors are to be expected, but the agency remains committed to fixing issues as they are identified. To ensure robust review, feedback is being gathered from parents, caregivers, educators, and organizations across the state. This feedback will inform the continuous improvement of subsequent units and editions.
