FORNEY, Texas – Teachers and administrators in the Forney Independent School District recently had a special opportunity to complete a foundational scope and sequence curriculum training program over a four day period which was presented by Margaret Kilgo. The focus of the sessions was on teaching and assessing the Texas learning standards, not on teaching to the test. Margaret Kilgo, the founder and president of Kilgo Consulting, Inc. presented a research-based overview of the relationship between the state curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Student Expectations (SEs) as well as the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) and End-of-Course (EOC) tests in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies for grades K-12. The scope and sequence training covered the components that are critical for effectively teaching and assessing the TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of the STAAR/EOC.
