MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE

Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS)

Real-world performance tasks are well suited to meet the educational goals of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. They provide hands-on opportunities for students to engage in AUTHENTIC PROBLEM-BASED learning that builds future-ready skills

Defined Learning provides an online library of K-12 problem-based lessons that align to the TEKS. Each task is based on a situation in a relevant career and provides opportunities for students to deepen understanding and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. We provide all of the resources teachers need to implement high-quality tasks including grade-specific lessons, guidance documents, and robust professional development on Defined Learning and effective teaching strategies for PBL within the classroom.
