TREKs for STAAR® Readiness, Gr 5

TREKs is a smart investment for schools seeking to boost Science achievement while reducing teacher workload. This research-based supplemental learning system seamlessly integrates STAAR® preparation with high-quality supplemental science instruction through its innovative Recall-Practice-Apply framework. 17 TREKs include teacher and student components in an easy-to-use, online platform. Designed by teachers for teachers, versatile, low-prep activities work across any classroom setting from daily instruction to intervention to test prep. The system is specifically aligned with STAAR® Redesign's new question types and assessment approach, helping students master essential knowledge while developing the skills needed for success on the updated test.

What sets TREKs apart is its focus on durable learning through interleaved practice. Rather than relying on last-minute test prep, the system builds student understanding systematically throughout the school year by connecting prior knowledge to new concepts, providing varied investigation types framed in three-dimensional instruction, and applying learning to real-world scenarios. The framework integrates science, math, and reading skills while offering scaffolded support for all learners. With TREKs, teachers get a supplemental solution that streamlines their planning, engages students effectively, and delivers results backed by research and developed through extensive collaboration with hundreds of Texas educators and school leaders who endorse its effectiveness.

Teacher instructions that seamlessly allow teachers to lead students in person, remotely, or in hybrid settings through each activity.
