TEA Available Materials

TEA provides districts and educators with direct access to an optional set of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) designed especially for Texas. 

Two types of materials are available to local education agencies (LEAs):

  • Core products: full sets of materials designed to cover 100% of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in a grade level/band
  • Supplemental products: materials not designed to cover 100% of the TEKS but that complement, enrich, or extend supports in a particular subject and grade band

The type of materials license impacts the length of time educators and districts can access a digital product. There are two types of licenses:

  • Open education resources (OER): state-developed digital materials that are freely available forever to Texas school districts and educators
  • State licensed: digital materials that are freely available to Texas school districts and educators for a specified time period

Prior to publication, materials go through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria include TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.

Visit each product page to request digital access and view the complete product information, including sample materials.
