New Year, New Tools: TCI Updates and Teacher Favorites for 2026

We’re excited to share a few new updates with you this winter, along with some tried-and-true teacher favorites to explore in 2026. Check out the latest updates and revisit powerful tools that will help you make the most of TCI in your classroom. Sign in to your TCI teacher account to explore these features.

More Languages for Translation

We’ve expanded our translation tool to include dozens of new languages—including Haitian Creole—thanks to your feedback. You’ll also find a helpful new search feature, making it easy to quickly locate any language you need.

You can access the translation tool with the reading online. Select the text, choose a language, and see your content instantly translated to support all learners. Read aloud is not yet available for every new language, but we’re working to add support in the future.

Clip Art for Assessments

Get creative! Now, when customizing assessment questions, you can add clip art images—on top of background images—to drawing questions. Clipart can be moved, resized, and manipulated right in the prompt, offering more flexibility for visual learners and hands-on tasks.

Oldies but Goodies: Features Teachers Love

Some updates stand the test of time—here are a few favorites you might have missed:

  • Video Activities: Video-driven, flexible activities for middle and high school social studies—perfect for remediation, review, or helping students catch up after holidays. Science teachers: Be sure to check out the Key Science Concept videos for middle school as well.
  • Differentiation Tools—Access Points: We know every classroom is unique. Access Points make it easier to support all learners. These handouts are a ready-to-use, modified version of the reading notes that focus on vocabulary and review questions that cover the lesson’s main ideas. Note: Access points are only available in third edition programs.

Coming in February: Try the New Grades Page Beta

You’ll soon have the option to try out the New Grades Page beta, arriving early February.

  • A cleaner, more focused grades table—see only what you’ve assigned
  • One score per assignment to make grading simple
  • A grading process that’s now more consistent with your LMS

You can explore the new Grades Page when you’re ready—nothing changes unless you choose to opt in. Keep an eye out for more details soon.

TCI continues to grow with your feedback. We can’t wait for you and your students to experience these new updates. If you have questions or want to share your feedback, we’d love to hear from you.
