January through March is a critical time for Texas teachers. Interim assessment data is in, STAAR® testing is approaching, and every instructional minute counts.

During this stretch, teachers need TEKS-aligned resources they can use right away to support the skills students need most—without disrupting pacing or required materials.

That’s where Khan Academy comes in.

With support from the ExxonMobil Foundation, we’ve created free STAAR® Prep Guides and TEKS-aligned math and science practice designed to fit seamlessly into real classrooms.

STAAR® prep designed to align with Texas classrooms

Khan Academy’s STAAR® Prep Guides are built to reinforce specific TEKS skills within existing instruction, making it easy to respond to student data without changing what Texas teachers are already teaching.

Our approach focuses on:

• Skill-level TEKS practice
• Low-prep, high-impact resources
• Flexible tools that fit into daily instruction

These supports are also especially helpful for new and alternatively certified teachers building confidence with TEKS and STAAR® expectations.

Our STAAR® Prep Guides organize all STAAR®-tested TEKS in one place and link directly to matching Khan Academy practice, saving you time during the most important instructional months of the year.

Each guide:

• Breaks down tested TEKS standards 
• Connects directly to aligned Khan Academy exercises
• Supports quick response to interim assessment data
• Works for warm-ups, small groups, intervention, or independent practice

Available STAAR® Prep Guides:

Each PDF includes clickable links to TEKS-aligned Khan Academy practice.

How to use the guides in your classroom

The STAAR® Prep Guides are designed to be flexible and easy to use during the busiest months of the school year. You and your fellow teachers can use them to:

• Identify specific TEKS to reinforce based on interim assessment data
• Plan quick review during warm-ups or exit tickets
• Support small-group instruction or targeted intervention
• Assign independent practice aligned directly to STAAR® expectations

Instead of searching for aligned materials or guessing which skills match the test, the guides help bring everything into one place so instructional time can stay focused on student growth.

Bonus: Texas Teacher Resources page

Looking for even more TEKS-aligned support? Khan Academy’s Texas Teacher Resources page brings together unit guides, course overviews, and classroom-ready tools designed to support instruction throughout the year.

Built with Texas teachers in mind—and always free

Khan Academy’s Texas resources were shaped with input from Texas educators and designed to reflect real classroom needs during STAAR® season.

All resources are 100% free thanks to support from the ExxonMobil Foundation, so teachers can rely on them during the most important months of the school year without cost or barriers.
