Someone needs to then. If you're in elementary, have the reading
teacher start using science content reading. If you're in
secondary, your horizontal grade level team or your vertical
science team needs to speak with administration to get a highly
qualified teacher to teach science. The TAKS subject teachers need
to be experts in their respective subject area. Period!
