TSIA2 curriculum

A teacher-led TSIA2 curriculum that builds readiness through stronger ELAR and mathematics skills.

Help students prepare for college-level coursework through targeted instruction embedded into the classes and schedules schools already use.

How it works

Five components, one unified instructional approach.

Everything a teacher needs to deliver TSIA2-aligned ELAR and mathematics instruction without creating a separate remediation program.

Teacher-led lessons

Whole-group TSIA2-aligned materials teachers can present directly.

Small group activities

Group students automatically by performance or manually for discussion and collaborative practice.

Adaptive practice

Give every student a personalized practice path based on placement and ongoing performance.

Mock tests + strategies

Use practice exams modeled on TSIA2 format and timing while building pacing, elimination, and format familiarity.

Reporting

See skill-level reports showing exactly where each student and class stand.

Data-driven instruction

Know exactly where to focus instruction.

Skill-level reporting helps teachers see where each class needs support across TSIA2 ELAR and mathematics, then focus instruction on the most important readiness gaps.

TSIA2 Skill Level Report by Lesson: Summary by Benchmark

How to use: This report highlights lessons using a Return on Instruction score that combines the class’s average skill level with the number of questions on the exam. Higher ROI indicates a larger opportunity for focused instruction.

#	Subject	Topic	Avg. skill level	Questions on exam	Return on Instruction (ROI)
1	TSIA2 Reading	Explicit and Implicit Details	1.0	2–3	88.0%
2	TSIA2 Reading	Words in Context	1.1	2–3	83.0%
3	TSIA2 Reading	Author’s Purpose	1.3	1–3	69.0%
4	TSIA2 Reading	Paired Passages	1.4	1–3	63.0%
5	TSIA2 Reading	Making Inferences and Predictions	1.6	1–3	52.0%
6	TSIA2 Reading	Main Idea	1.8	1–2	36.0%

Built for existing pathways

Integrate TSIA2 prep into existing course codes.

ChalkTalk can support TSIA2 preparation within existing mathematics and English course structures, helping districts build college and career readiness into the regular school day.

Option A · Deeper instruction

Build TSIA2 preparation into core instruction.

Primary instruction runs 3–5 days per week for 20–45 minutes per day, integrated into existing courses.

Develops college-readiness ELAR and mathematics through daily instruction, targeted group work, and differentiated practice.

Every implementation includes

Ready-to-use lesson plans and slides
Adaptive practice and study videos
Printables and online activities
Built-in progress monitoring
Professional development and data coaching
Pacing guides

Examples of existing courses ChalkTalk partners have integrated TSIA2 prep into:

Math Models for TSIA2

Embed TSIA2 math readiness into real-world modeling, personal finance, data, and algebraic, graphical, and geometric problem solving.

Algebraic Reasoning

Connect TSIA2 preparation to linear, quadratic, rational, exponential, and other functions through patterns, structure, and modeling from data.

ENG III

Build TSIA2 ELAR readiness through English III reading, grammar, vocabulary, research, and evidence-based writing instruction.

Option B

Bell-Ringers & Bootcamp

A faster TSIA2 implementation model with strong impact and minimal lift.

Bell-Ringers

5–10 minute ELAR or mathematics warm-ups that fit into existing intervention, advisory, or core-course routines.

Bootcamp

30–45 minute sessions for 2–3 weeks before testing, combining TSIA2 familiarity with targeted readiness instruction.
