The purpose of this publication is to provide direction, models, and training to Social Studies Vertical Teams that will help team members organize a series of productive activities, meetings, and workshops that lead to a comprehensive, coordinated Social Studies program. The concept of Social Studies Vertical Teams incorporates the idea that AP Social Studies offerings should not be isolated courses, but rather a planned program for teaching skills and concepts over several years. One objective is to develop a continuum of skill building from one grade level to the next. (Recommended for AP teachers and middle and high school teachers.)

TEA Lighthouse Guide

The purpose of this web site is to help Texas social studies teachers better understand how to approach curriculum, instruction, and assessment to assist their students in moving on to success in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and other advanced academic programs. Social studies teachers in grades 6 through 10—whether or not their courses are labeled “Pre-AP”—face two enormous tasks: (1) teaching the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) to prepare their students for the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS); and (2) cultivating the rigor and skills to put AP and other advanced programs within their students’ reach.

The TEA Advanced Programs web page contains information regarding Graduation Requirements and the Distinguished Achievement Program, the AP/IB Incentive Program, GEAR UP, the International Baccalaureate Organization, etc.
