The hub behind this page holds twelve teacher tools and all 75 middle school science TEKS. You do not need to hunt through it. Pick your grade once below, and every tool opens already pointed at Grade 6, 7, or 8.
Tap one. Every tool in Step 02 will open with this grade already selected — the standards panel, the misconception lookup, the Year at a Glance builder, the data grids, all of it. You only do this once.
No sub-menus, no setup screens. Each card goes straight to the working tool with your grade filled in. The badges tell you roughly how long a tool takes before it gives you something usable.
Every student expectation for your grade, grouped by the six strands, each one already written out with its ten key vocabulary words, readiness or supporting flag, and the SEPs and recurring themes it leans on.
Pick the standard you are teaching today. You get back a one-screen brief: five vocabulary words, the core concepts, the misconception students usually arrive with, and a sensible teaching order. Enough to walk in with.
The wrong answer your students are most likely to hold on a given TEKS, written down before the lesson — with the correction and the question that surfaces it.
One topic traced across all three grades side by side. Useful the moment a class is missing the prior-year piece — you can see exactly which SE that was.
Scientific and engineering practices, recurring themes, matter and energy, force and motion, Earth and space, organisms and environments — and how each one grows from 6 to 8.
A single standing notice for changes to the assessed curriculum or clarifications from the agency. Check it in August and after each STAAR release; ignore it the rest of the year.
Enter your first and last day, your breaks, and the STAAR date. You get a week-by-week sequence for your grade that front-loads tested standards and leaves room before the test — not a generic template you have to re-cut by hand.
Three, five, or seven-day scaffolded sequences per standard, DOK-aligned and time-blocked. The grade and standard pickers already work so you can see the shape of it; the generated plan itself is still being built.
Type in percent correct per assessed standard. The grid colors itself, and the weakest standard links straight back to its vocabulary and teaching notes.
Rolls your percent-correct data up into the four STAAR reporting categories and weights it the way the Grade 8 blueprint does, so you can see where the test actually costs you points.
Four classrooms side by side on the same standards, so a PLC can see whether a gap is one section or the whole campus — and name campus priority standards from it.
The standards the Grade 8 test actually draws from — readiness and supporting, pulled cumulatively out of Grades 6, 7, and 8 — with how heavily each reporting category is weighted. Worth reading even if you teach 6 or 7, because a third of it is yours.
Type a TEKS code and land directly on that standard’s card in the browser, opened and highlighted. Faster than any menu.
