• Identify district-level staff members to oversee TSIA2 testing and resource implementation.

• Determine TSIA2 testing days across all grade levels.

• Develop a schedule for district-level administration to check-in with campus-level leads throughout the school year.

• Create a logistics plan and share with relevant stakeholders for teachers to leverage.

Establish clear metrics for success by setting district-wide goals around TSIA2 outcomes 

• Define common key student outcomes indicators around TSIA2 readiness and cadence for analyzing data.

• Develop realistic, ambitious, and measurable goals to improve student outcomes on TSIA2.

• Communicate these goals to all stakeholders (teachers, families, students, community members).

• Consider staff incentives for improved TSIA2 success such as department-wide financial incentives for +10% growth on TSIA2 math outcomes.

• Establish benchmarks of instruction for Algebra and Geometry to target the high volume of questions in these content areas on the TSIA2.

Regularly assess and leverage data to drive resource allocation

• Determine a cadence for regularly pulling student outcome data on TSIA2 assessments and curricular materials.

• Identify test preparation programs and prioritize implementation at campuses demonstrating higher need.

• Integrate TSIA2 testing for students upon completion of Texas College Bridge.

Establish a plan for summer transition supports for TSIA2

• Create a plan to identify recently-graduated seniors who still need to take the TSIA2 test over summer before college enrollment.

• Identify high-potential, high-performing incoming students to receive practice on and take the TSIA2 before the school year begins.

Key Actions

Leverage and communicate district testing plans

• Identify a campus-level coordinator for TSIA2 testing.

• Establish a schedule for communicating with all stakeholders (teachers, staff, families, and students) the logistics for TSIA2 testing.

• Develop training schedule for TSIA2 proctors.

Establish clear metrics for success by setting campus-wide goals around TSIA2 outcomes

• Use disaggregated data (e.g., by content area, grade level, and subgroups) to set ambitious goals around TSIA2 performance.

• Communicate these goals to all stakeholders (teachers, families, students, community members).

• Consider staff incentives for improved TSIA2 success.

Leverage PLCs or professional development time for campus-wide data review

• Provide professional development on how to read TSIA2 data to all stakeholders.

• Establish a cadence and norms for regular data review meetings where teachers, counselors, and instructional coaches discuss TSIA-2 performance data, share insights, and collaborate on strategies for improving student outcomes.

• Use disaggregated data (e.g., by content area, grade level, and subgroup) to group students based on their TSIA2 readiness, identifying students who need additional support.
