Printable and digital units for Dallas teachers, from SWOT and PEST analysis in middle school business to the marketing mix, journal entries and SMART money goals in high school, plus math and grammar practice for younger grades.
Curriculum alignment guaranteed by TeachLessons.
Texas sets what students learn and how they are tested, and the rules around testing are changing. These are the points Dallas teachers ask us about most often in 2026-27.
| Curriculum framework | Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for ELAR, mathematics and science |
|---|---|
| State authority | Texas Education Agency (TEA) |
| Grade names | Kindergarten, then Grade 1 through Grade 12 |
| State tests in 2025-26 | STAAR in grades 3 to 8, plus end-of-course exams in English I and II, Algebra I, Biology and U.S. History |
| Main school system | Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) |
| Policy change | Under HB 8 (2025), STAAR is replaced from 2027-28 by three shorter tests at the beginning, middle and end of the year, with results returned quickly to teachers |
| Local teaching hook | Jack Kilby built the first integrated circuit (the microchip) at Texas Instruments in Dallas in 1958 |
These eight resources cover the topics Dallas teachers most often plan around: business strategy, marketing, accounting, personal finance, middle school math and Grade 2 grammar. Each one is ready to print or use on screen.
Students sort a company's internal strengths and weaknesses from its outside opportunities and threats, then test the tool on real business case scenarios. Includes a reading section, six differentiated worksheets and cooperative tasks.
Students move from needs and market research to target groups, segmentation, positioning and the four Ps. Includes five differentiated worksheets, full answer keys, a 7-slide presentation and a step-by-step lesson plan.
Students follow the path from stocktaking and inventory to the balance sheet and accounts, then form the correct journal entry for each transaction. Includes five worksheets, answer keys, slides and a lesson plan.
Students examine the political, economic, social and technological factors around a business and compare PEST with SWOT and PESTEL. Includes a reading section, six worksheets, a glossary, a group puzzle and a quiz with answer key.
Students break down the five SMART letters, fix a flawed sample goal and write three financial goals for different time horizons. Includes a 14-slide deck, a student workbook with a tiered task and a teacher guide.
A growing collection for Grades 5 to 9 covering fractions and decimals, geometry, statistics, equations, ratios and percentages, functions and word problems, with printable and digital materials for review, enrichment and assessment.
Second graders build sentences, sort nouns and verbs and choose between periods, question marks and exclamation marks. Includes fill-in-the-blank tasks, sentence matching and short writing prompts on editable pages for print or screen.
Four lessons to open a personal finance course: a welcome and overview, a financial-personality quiz, SMART goal setting and a values-based Wheel of Life activity. Each lesson has slides, a student workbook and a teacher guide.

Use these suggestions to extend your planning. Local examples and activities below are teaching ideas to add, rather than a list of files included in every product.
After the SWOT Analysis worksheets, give groups a one-page summary of Jack Kilby's integrated circuit, built at Texas Instruments in Dallas in 1958. Each group writes a SWOT for the company at that moment, then discusses which threats and opportunities would look different ten years later.
AT&T Stadium in Arlington hosted nine matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Using the Marketing Basics worksheets, students design a marketing mix for a small food truck parked near the stadium on a match day: product, price, place and promotion, with one sentence of reasoning for each choice.
The Dallas area is home to a number of company headquarters. Pair the PEST Analysis unit with a mapping task: each student picks one company based nearby, finds one political, economic, social and technological factor that affects it, and presents the result on a single slide.
TeachLessons guarantees alignment with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). This guarantee covers the subjects, learning objectives and levels stated in each product description.
No. TeachLessons is an independent publisher with no affiliation with Dallas ISD, the Texas Education Agency or any other Texas authority. Teachers choose resources themselves and decide how each one fits their own TEKS planning, campus expectations and students.
HB 8 (2025) replaces STAAR from 2027-28 with three shorter tests given at the beginning, middle and end of the year, with results returned quickly to teachers. That makes short, regular checks of understanding more useful. Units with differentiated worksheets and answer keys fit well into a rhythm of teaching, checking and reteaching.
Start from the grade band listed on each product, then read the skills described. A Grade 8 class new to business can begin with the SWOT or PEST units listed for Grades 7 to 10, while a Grade 11 CTE class can move straight to the marketing mix or journal entries.
Every resource is an instant digital download. After purchase you can print worksheets for class sets or use the files on screens and student devices. Many units include editable pages, slide presentations and answer keys, so you can adjust tasks to your schedule and your students.
Use the city's own history and economy as examples. Jack Kilby's 1958 integrated circuit at Texas Instruments works well for technology and business strategy lessons, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at AT&T Stadium in Arlington give marketing and budgeting tasks a setting students recognize.
