Search/Locate TCR Components

Texas Curriculum Resource (TCR) components are found on the Search All Components page, provided the district’s access settings have been properly adjusted.

If a district has access to both TEKS Resource System and TCR, users will be able to search for either TEKS RS components or TCR components. These two are mutually exclusive, so only one set of materials or the other can be viewed. If a district has access to just TCR, those will be the only available materials.

If a message appears when attempting to view a document that states the user has insufficient permissions, the user will need to contact the District Content Admin regarding the district’s access settings.
