TExEStest.org

TExEStest.org is a valuable resource for current and prospective educators seeking credentials in the state of Texas! Here, you'll find what you need as you prepare for the Texas Examination of Educator Standards (TExES), the exam series for state licensure.

We know these high-stakes exams can feel intimidating and stressful, so we've made it our mission to build and curate the best study materials and planning tools possible. Everything you'll need to help you prepare efficiently, gain confidence, and pass your exams.

 

With such widespread debate on the benefits of the Common Core State Standards, TExEStest.org created a guide to provide an overview of what they can look like in the classroom. We did this because teaching is stressful enough on its own, so everyone should feel confident when implementing new methods in the classroom. TExEStest.org created A Guide to Common Core Standards in the Classroom https://texestest.org/teacher-certification/guide-to-common-core/#0495 to provide future educators with the information they need the most, such as:

  • Understanding the Common Core State Standards

  • Exploring Common Core subject standards

  • Implementing the Common Core curriculum in the classroom

On this subject, our Effective Teaching Techniques for the Classroom guide https://texestest.org/teacher-certification/classroom-teaching-techniques/#0495 is another resource we have that might also be beneficial
