"Attention, Texas science teachers! "

The 2024–2025 school year has brought BIG changes with the new Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)—and like any good experiment, adapting to new variables takes the right approach! These revamped standards emphasize critical thinking, cross-disciplinary connections, and big ideas like systems, energy, and interdependence. But let’s be real—change can be tough, and many educators are feeling the challenge.

That’s where RPA TREKS comes in! Our team of science education pros has identified five key strategies to help teachers master the new TEKS, engage students with inquiry-based learning, and use data-driven instruction to drive results.

"Science rules! 🚀🔬"

Hey science enthusiasts! Ever wonder how to supercharge student learning and make science stick? That’s exactly what RPA TREKS has been doing since 2014 with its Recall-Practice-Apply (RPA) methodology—a research-backed approach that helps students recall what they’ve learned, practice their skills, and apply concepts in new ways. The result? Science scores soaring by 10 percentage points or more!

Through smart teaching strategies like interleaved practice, efficient classroom time, and ongoing teacher training, RPA TREKS is making science education more engaging, effective, and downright awesome. Want to see how this innovative method is transforming classrooms? Let’s dive in! 🌍⚛️

In the pursuit of successful learning, there are two essential methods that have proven to be effective: varied practice and interleaved practice.

Over the last decade, we’ve implemented and studied the results of effective science practice in 5th grade classrooms. These efforts have provided us crucial insights for how students can learn and apply scientific concepts, fuel curiosity, and develop critical thinking.
