Standards Addressed – TEKS Resource System Support

The Standards Addressed section essentially operates as a gap analysis tool by indicating which standards have been addressed through completed Checks for Understanding (CFUs), and which have not. This section can be used as an ongoing resource as future CFUs are administered. For guidance with creating a new CFU, please see the Create a New Check for Understanding support guide.

Please note this feature is intended as a formative method of assessment to help drive instruction and is not meant as a means for collecting grades for individual students. Checks for Understanding can be administered throughout the course of a unit, used as an "Exit Slip", or given as a unit pre-test to gauge students' prior knowledge.

Each standard listed in the results will display an icon to the left of the standard code indicating if it has been included on a CFU ("Complete" text with green check mark) or not ("Incomplete" text with red 'X').

The text to the right of each standard also provides this designation. If the standard has not appeared on a CFU, "Covered in 0 Checks for Understanding" will appear in the row. If the standard does appear on a CFU, the number of times it has been included will be noted (e.g., "Covered in 4 Checks for Understanding").
