Texas Standardized Curriculum Framework Update

In reviewing the efforts across the state to adapt the Texas Standardized Curriculum Framework (TSCF) and its impact, this project will acquire information/data from practitioners involved in the process and from that information, pilot-test a template for selecting learning activities with a Task Force of adult educators. The strategy to accomplish this will be to identify programs that have been implementing TSCF and collect data regarding learners' progress as well as practitioner' feedback on the effectiveness of TSCF implementation.

This project will prepare for and facilitate an intensive workshop to determine the "fit" between the TSCF as it currently exists, and the direction adult education is expected to take in terms of program standards and accountability measures. The strategy to accomplish this will be to host the workshop in early July to gather information and feedback from a task force of adult education practitioners regarding TSCF.  The project will develop further strategies/activities based on recommendations of the task force for review by Texas LEARNS and adult education directors and practitioners across the state.

Texas Standardized Curriculum Framework (TSCF) Resources (update August 2007)

NOTE: These resources are not related to the Texas Adult Education Content Standards adopted in 2007. They are based on an earlier set of curriculum frameworks widely used in Texas in the early 2000s, which were in turn adopted from a framework developed by the Florida Department of Education, Division of Workforce Development.
