I met lots of great people, but no one who taught using TEKS. Just the other day I was talking to my friends, who are also teachers, about the need for more TEKS aligned TPT products. I've started creating them myself, like Jennifer. I make sure that I label them as such too. I was having a hard time finding TEKS sellers, but now that I know you all are I will definitely be dropping by your stores! Thanks for addressing this issue!<br /><br />NickiNicki @ Nickis Notepadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741487533778886152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544517983329604848.post-14154469634479415202014-07-15T18:23:37.441-05:002014-07-15T18:23:37.441-05:00Hi Jennifer!

I make all my TPT products for my classroom and they are aligned to the TEKS. I need to make sure to put that in my product description.Thanks for reminding me of that. <br /><a href="http://loveteachingkids.com" rel="nofollow">Love Teaching Kids</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889269337766253334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544517983329604848.post-73350700382875065142014-06-30T17:42:58.681-05:002014-06-30T17:42:58.681-05:00Paula & Bethany, Thank you so much for your co...Paula & Bethany, Thank you so much for your comments. I have amended my post above to include the fact that Texas has explicitly forbidden teachers from using materials designed for CCSS. I am afraid download any product that has CCSS written on it anywhere as it implies that I am using CCSS created materials. There are lots of ways around it, but these ways (white out, store files at home, etc.) are inconvenient and , to me, defeat the purpose of buying an item on TPT. My mission is to bring this issue to light so that TPT store owners are able to make an informed decision about how they create their products before they exclude a whole state. And Texas is a pretty big state. <br /><br />Jamie, thank you for your support. <br /><br />All the best to each of you!<br /><br />DianeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202133514696135765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544517983329604848.post-5309017919001637382014-06-29T18:33:35.196-05:002014-06-29T18:33:35.196-05:00As a Texas teacher I totally support your request ...As a Texas teacher I totally support your request for editable standards, particularly in products like teacher binders and products that include a place that documents standards.

I just make sure that it aligns with the CC so that teachers who have to teach those standards can know that they are being covered.
