Toolkits

The TSIA2 Math Toolkit provides multiple levels of supports to school districts, campus staff, and classroom instructors to reduce the gap between ELAR and Math success on college readiness assessments. Utilizing systems-change thinking, several self-evaluation rubrics are provided so districts can determine which strategic lever to address and at which level to focus on. With more than 50 deliverables, the TSIA2 Math Toolkit provides a wide range of resources for all levels within the district.

The Accelerating Campus Excellence initiative (ACE) is a school turnaround model that incentivizes a district’s most effective teachers and campus leaders to teach and lead at historically underperforming campuses.

A strategic evaluation system fairly and accurately evaluates teachers based on multiple measures, including student growth and student voice, and leads to meaningful differentiation of evaluation ratings (e.g., not all teachers are rated as effective).

House Bill 3 (HB 3), passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in June of 2019, established a Teacher Incentive Allotment with a stated goal of a six-figure salary for teachers who prioritize teaching in high needs areas and rural district campuses.
