Section 28.008 of the Texas Education Code, entitled “Advancement of College Readiness in Curriculum,” was created by the Third Special Called Session of the 79th Texas Legislature. This section requires that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) establish discipline-based faculty teams to develop College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) that address what students must know and be able to do to succeed in entry-level college courses offered at Texas public community/technical colleges and universities.

College Readiness Assignments (CRAfT)
College Readiness Assignments for Texas (CRAfT), was a project based at The University of Texas at Austin and funded by THECB to develop College Readiness Assignments (CRAs) aligned to the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS). The CRAs are stand-alone lessons designed by high school and college faculty to prepare students for college and career success.
