TEKS Securities and Investments Standards Alignment
Texas publishes TEKS for Securities and Investments (§130.184) as part of their CTE standards. These standards align with a fusion of topics from our Accounting, Management, Personal Finance, and Investing libraries of activities.
In addition to these stand-alone activities, we also offer a complete “Investing 101” course, which has proven to be a popular addition to Securities and Investments classes throughout Texas.
