# CCISD TEKS Alignment Dataset

## Dataset Description

This dataset contains comprehensive Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards mapped to 25 high school courses from Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD). It provides detailed curriculum alignment data for educational technology applications, lesson planning tools, and curriculum development.

### Dataset Summary

- **Total Courses**: 25
- **Total TEKS Standards**: 428
- **STAAR-Tested Standards**: 147 (34.3%)
- **Subject Areas**: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Languages, Health, Computer Science
- **Grade Levels**: 9-12 (High School)

### Supported Tasks

- Curriculum alignment and mapping
- Lesson planning and sequencing
- Standards-based assessment design
- Educational technology integration
- Learning progression analysis
- Cross-curricular connections

## Dataset Structure

### Data Fields

- `course_name`: Full name of the course (e.g., "English I", "Algebra I")
- `subject_area`: Subject classification (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, etc.)
- `peims_code`: Official 8-digit PEIMS course code
- `credit_hours`: Credit value (0.5 or 1.0)
- `grade_level`: Grade level(s) for the course
- `teks_code`: Unique TEKS standard identifier (e.g., "ENG1.1.A")
- `strand_name`: TEKS knowledge/skill strand
- `expectation_text`: Full text of the student expectation
- `bloom_level`: Bloom's Taxonomy cognitive level (Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating)
- `staar_tested`: Boolean indicating if standard appears on STAAR assessments
- `tac_reference`: Texas Administrative Code reference
- `instructional_units`: Scope & sequence unit placements

### Data Splits

The dataset is provided as a single comprehensive collection suitable for:
- Educational research and analysis
- Curriculum planning and development
- EdTech product development
- Standards-based assessment creation

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

- **TEKS Standards**: Official Texas Education Agency (TEA) standards from Texas Administrative Code Title 19
- **Course Catalog**: CCISD complete course catalog with PEIMS codes
- **Scope & Sequence**: Instructional unit mappings for all courses

### Data Collection

Standards were extracted from official TEA documentation and mapped to CCISD courses using:
- TAC (Texas Administrative Code) references
- PEIMS course codes
- Bloom's Taxonomy classification
- STAAR testing status from TEA specifications

### Annotations

- **Bloom's Levels**: Expert classification of cognitive complexity
- **STAAR Status**: Verified against official TEA STAAR blueprints
- **Scope & Sequence**: Unit-by-unit instructional timeline

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact

This dataset supports:
- Equitable access to high-quality curriculum materials
- Data-driven educational decision making
- Alignment between instruction and state assessments
- Transparency in curriculum standards

### Limitations

- Specific to Texas TEKS standards (may not apply to other states)
- High school focus (grades 9-12)
- Does not include student performance data
- Scope & sequence reflects one district's approach

## Additional Information
