Questions.
Is Cleared affiliated with College Board or the Texas Education Agency?
No. Cleared is an independent Earned Pathways publication. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by College Board, the Texas Education Agency, or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. TSIA2 is a College Board trademark.
Does it cover the TSIA2 essay?
Yes. Unit 5 of the Student Workbook is eight lessons on the essay: how it is scored, reading the prompt, planning in five minutes, developing body paragraphs, revising your own draft, three sample essays with commentary, and practice prompts. The Campus Guide plans writing from week one.
Do practice scores predict an official TSIA2 result?
No. The practice items are original questions in the same skill areas the TSIA2 covers. A practice score is classroom evidence for planning the next lesson; it does not convert to a TSIA2 score.
What is the difference between the Student Workbook and the Classroom Edition?
They teach the same lessons and practice. The Student Workbook has answers and explanations in the back, for students working on their own. The Classroom Edition leaves them out for class sets, and the Answer Key holds them for the teacher.
Which book should a campus start with?
Leaders start with the Campus Guide, which explains each decision through one campus cycle. The team works from the Game Plan. Each book can be used alone, but the plan runs best when each person has the book that fits the job.
What is in the digital toolkit?
A campus tracker spreadsheet, editable planning tools, a bilingual family night kit, and editable certificates. The access code is printed in the Campus Guide and the Game Plan; unlock the downloads on the Resources page.
Can a district get class sets or a license?
Yes. District licenses add the staff workshop slide decks, stamped PDFs for every campus, and on-site training. Book a call or email to set one up.
Also in the series family: Cleared: TSIA2 Math. Every book and both planners are on the Resources shelf.
Bring the full program to your district.
District licenses include every PDF, the staff workshop decks, and on-site training.
