Texas has a lot of ground to cover
From the fight for independence at the Alamo to the push westward across the plains,Texas standards cover a lot of ground. BrainPOP’s TEKS-aligned animated movies turn each topic into something every student can actually follow through the power of humor and storytelling—no matter their starting line.
What Texas educators are saying
“It's another multimodal way for kids to learn—they're not just hearing it or seeing it, it's the visual and the hearing together at once. It works well for students at every level, from every kind of learning need. It just reaches everybody.”

“BrainPOP simplifies complex topics in a manageable amount of time, offering engaging extension activities to deepen students’ depth of knowledge. Always opening a new door for their curious minds.”

CCMR starts in kindergarten, not 11th grade
Long before a student sits for an AP exam or an industry certification, their success depends on having the background knowledge to engage with rigorous content.
BrainPOP builds that foundation, starting in kindergarten.
A shared starting line: Every movie breaks down the topics across the curriculum, with a blend of humor and narrative that ensures every student connects with—and remembers—what they learn.
The confidence to join in: Bridging these background gaps early gives students the confidence to raise their hand.
Habits of mind that last: Every topic helps developing learners build the habit of questioning, defending, and building on ideas—the critical thinking skills they’ll draw on years down the road.
Your district, your call
No two Texas districts—from El Paso to Texarkana—follow the same roadmap. Our Content Management Tool puts the call in your hands, so BrainPOP fits your community, your district, and your state, exactly as you need it.
Howdy, Texans. Let's bring BrainPOP home.
How does BrainPOP support Texas TEKS and STAAR assessments in the classroom?
Each one of BrainPOP's 1,300 topics are aligned directly to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). As Texas shifts from a single end-of-year STAAR to a through-year assessment model starting in 2027–28, BrainPOP is built for exactly that shift: ongoing instruction and practice all year, not a single cram session each spring.
How does BrainPOP support Texas's diverse learner population?
BrainPOP ELL covers English language development across listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Topics in BrainPOP include audio support, adjustable reading levels, and built-in accommodations for students with IEPs.
How does BrainPOP help Texas students engage with state and local history?
Texas's story carries weight in state social studies instruction—from the fight for independence at the Alamo to the first Juneteenth in Galveston. BrainPOP gives teachers movies and activities on these topics that are ready to drop right into existing Social Studies units.
How does BrainPOP support AI literacy in Texas schools?
There's no statewide AI literacy mandate in Texas yet, but the state's career-readiness culture means administrators are already thinking about what an AI-ready workforce requires. BrainPOP's AI literacy resources build that foundation early, without waiting on policy to catch up.
How does BrainPOP support district content policies in Texas?
BrainPOP's Content Management Tool puts that decision in your hands: admins can manage exactly which topics are available at the campus or district level, so BrainPOP fits your policies—not the other way around.
How does a Texas school or district purchase BrainPOP?
BrainPOP accepts purchase orders for school and district subscriptions. All subscriptions are annual. Multi-year agreements are available for schools and districts.

Does BrainPOP have options for Title I schools in Texas?
Yes. BrainPOP qualifies under Title I and Title IV-A, and can support Perkins V-funded CTE goals when a district's pathways call for it.
