CSCOPE is a comprehensive online curriculum management system developed and owned by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC), a consortium composed of 19 of the 20 ESCs in the state. The CSCOPE system includes a curriculum framework for grades K-12 in all foundational academic subject areas aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. CSCOPE content is regularly updated based on all SBOE-adopted changes in the TEKS, as well as any relevant changes/interpretations of state standards and from feedback collected through various stakeholder groups in the collaborative, including individual teacher submissions through the CSCOPE website and the School District Advisory Committee, comprised of district representatives from all participating regions of the state. Participating school districts may also use the online CSCOPE system to customize and/or create content, as well as providing for the inclusion of locally approved or adopted supplemental resources.

CSCOPE provides districts a common language, structure, and process for curriculum delivery. Curriculum components highlight the content and cognitive rigor of each student expectation that will be assessed on STAAR and ensure teachers are informed of the depth and complexity to which they should be teaching. In addition to quality curriculum components and resources, CSCOPE provides assessment and instructional components for teachers to meet the highest standard of rigor and relevance as they address the TEKS/STAAR expectations. Required English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) and College and Career Readiness Standards are embedded into the curriculum as well. The components of CSCOPE are based on best practice models from top researchers.
