Instructional Materials & Review

Eanes ISD is committed to providing an exceptional educational experience for every student, grounded in academic excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement. To ensure our curriculum remains current, aligned with state standards, and reflective of our community’s high expectations, the district follows a structured K–12 Curriculum Review and Adoption Cycle across all subject areas identified in the State Board of Education’s IRMA Multi-Year Plan.

Purpose of the Curriculum Review Cycle
The Curriculum Review Cycle is designed to ensure that every course and content area in Eanes ISD:

• Aligns with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and all updates from the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
• Incorporates current research-based instructional practices and high-quality learning materials.
• Reflects the values, goals, and expectations of the Eanes ISD community.
• Provides equitable access to engaging, challenging, and relevant learning experiences for all students.

Our Process
Each content area—such as English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, and others—is reviewed on a rotating cycle to maintain rigor, consistency, and responsiveness to both state standards and student needs.

The cycle includes several key phases:

  • Review updates to TEKS and current best practices.
  • Gather input from teachers, administrators, and community members.
