Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills K-12 (“TEKS”)
TEC’s educational initiatives align with TEKS by integrating energy concepts into core subjects like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Some key areas include:
-
TEC supports curriculum topics such as renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, energy conservation, and environmental impact, which are covered in middle and high school science classes.
-
TEC helps students explore careers in oil, gas, and alternative energy through CTE pathways like Energy & Natural Resources and STEM-focused engineering courses.
-
TEC provides insight into how energy production impacts Texas’ economy, fostering discussions on policy, sustainability, and global energy markets.
By integrating real-world applications and industry expertise into Texas classrooms, the Texas Energy Council plays a crucial role in enhancing energy literacy and preparing students for future careers in the energy sector.
