KILGO SCOPE and SEQUENCE
Margaret Kilgo presents a research-based overview of the relationship between the state curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Student Expectations (SEs), and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, Grades K-12. Kilgo covers the components that are critical for effectively teaching and assessing the TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of the TAKS.

Components of Margaret Kilgo’s Scope & Sequence
|
|
· Sequence for pacing instruction of the TEKS/SEs in the model Scope & Sequence charts based on current state student achievement data trends and Kilgo research on the relationship between the TEKS/SEs and TAKS
|
|
|
· Coding of “high stakes” objectives, TEKS/SEs tested on TAKS
|
|
|
· Coding alignment of the TAKS-M and SAT in reading and mathematics
|
|
|
· Vertical alignment for reading and writing, grades K-12, so skills can be introduced at earlier grade levels and developed to mastery prior to testing on TAKS
|
|
|
· Vertical alignment for mathematics, K-12, so skills and concepts can be introduced at earlier grade levels and developed to mastery prior to testing on TAKS
|
|
|
· Vertical alignment for science, grades 1-8, so skills and concepts can be introduced at earlier grade levels
|
|
|
· Vertical alignment for the new, revised ELAR TEKS/SE, K-12, in reading comprehension so all thinking skills are introduced in a developmental sequence and developed to mastery prior to testing on TAKS across all TEKS strands and genres. The vertical alignment in the new ELAR Scope and Sequence charts is based on Margaret Kilgo’s current and new research on the relationship between the reading comprehension curriculum standards and the state standardized assessment and statewide Reading TAKS data trends.
