Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Social Studies: New and Moved High School Courses
On August 18, 2020, new Social Studies courses were made available in the Elevate Standards Alignment standards collection under Texas > Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) > Social Studies (2018 r2020).
The new courses are
- 113.51 Ethnic Studies: African American Studies
- 113.61 Economics Advanced Studies
Texas also adopted course 113.60 Social Studies Advanced Studies, which is the same as an older course implemented in 1998 and found in the Social Studies 2010 document: 113.52 Social Studies Advanced Studies.
To reflect the new adoption of 113.60, we made the following changes to 113.52:
- moved course 113.52 from Texas > Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) > Social Studies (2010) to Social Studies (2018 r2020),
- changed the course number from 113.52 to 113.60, and
- applied a Section-specific adoption year and implementation year of 2020.
