The TEKSWatch website and information service operated during 2009 and 2010 to educate Texans—and Americans—about the process of revising the state’s history and social studies standards, known as the Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS). The site began as a list of reference links for Dr. Erekson’s students in the teacher education program, grew into a volunteer organization run by some of those students, and is now archived online for researchers.
