TEXAS TEKS CNA LESSON-PLANNING ALIGNMENT CROSSWALK

The Texas TEKS CNA Lesson-Planning Alignment Crosswalk is a comprehensive, instructor-focused planning tool that connects three critical components of a Texas high school CNA program:

• Texas Health Science TEKS
• Texas Nurse Aide State Curriculum Modules 1.1–1.6
• Prometric Written Knowledge Examination Domains

Created using a data-driven, reverse-engineered approach, this crosswalk helps instructors see exactly how required curriculum content supports state educational standards and certification-exam readiness.

What’s Included

This resource features:

• 41 detailed curriculum-alignment entries
• Texas State Curriculum content and lesson topics
• Primary and supporting Health Science TEKS
• Complete TEKS student expectations
• All five Prometric Written Knowledge Examination Domains
• Specific Prometric content-outline connections
• Primary and secondary domain alignments
• Lesson-planning alignment statements
• Suggested evidence of student mastery
• A color-coded module-to-domain coverage matrix
• Official source references

Designed for Intentional Lesson Planning

Instead of simply listing the TEKS or Prometric domains, this crosswalk shows instructors how the three instructional layers connect.

For each curriculum topic, instructors can identify:

• What State Curriculum content should be taught
• Which TEKS appropriately support that instruction
• Where the content appears within the Prometric written examination blueprint
• What students should demonstrate to show mastery

This allows instructors to develop stronger learning objectives, classroom activities, assessments, remediation plans, and exam-readiness strategies without teaching disconnected content.

Perfect For

• Texas high school CNA instructors
• Health Science educators
• Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs
• CTE coordinators and curriculum specialists
• New CNA instructors developing lesson plans
• Established programs reviewing curriculum alignment
• Programs working to strengthen first-time certification pass rates

Why This Resource Matters

CNA instruction should not operate in three separate lanes—one for the TEKS, one for the State Curriculum, and one for Prometric.

This crosswalk brings those requirements together so instructors can teach with greater clarity, consistency, and purpose.

It is not about “teaching to the test.” It is about ensuring that required instruction, student competency, and certification readiness are intentionally connected.

Align the standards. Strengthen the instruction. Prepare students with purpose.
