Abstract

In the Winter 2013 edition of the "Texas Journal of Literacy Education," we announced that a special task force from the TALE board would be sharing the common ground among the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS). In that first edition, we began part one of our four part series by briefly discussing the history of the CCSS and the creation of the TEKS and the CCRS. Here, in part two of the series, we compare these standards by examining the writing standards of the TEKS and the CCSS.
