A Simpler Way to Grade
We’re making grading easier and more flexible with new tools designed for your busy schedule. Check out the new Grades page and enhanced controls for sharing assessment answers—both created to save you time and give you more control over student feedback.
New Grades Page
The new Grades page provides a more streamlined, intuitive grading experience. Now, you’ll only see and grade the work you’ve actually assigned, with a single score representing each assignment. This gives you a clearer snapshot of student performance and makes it easier to spot and address areas that need support.
The new Grades Page will also support Grade by Assignment, which allows teachers to pick and choose what shows up in their assignment in the Grades Page—they no longer have to assign a whole lesson or section. Grade by Assignment is available for reading assignments beginning spring 2025, with support for all assignment types coming by fall 2025.
Hiding Answers from Student Results
This feature lets you control what students see when they receive their graded assessments on the student results page. You can turn this feature on and off when assigning each assessment. Leave the “Show answer key on student results page” box unchecked to hide answers from the student results page. This added flexibility lets you decide how and when to share feedback, while also helping to prevent students from sharing answers between classes.
Correlations Made Easy
Stay on top of standards with our updated Correlations page, where you can easily see how TCI’s programs align with your state requirements. Whether you’re looking for a specific text, a ready-to-use activity, or an assessment that matches your standards, quick links help you jump right to what you need.
We’ve also made it simple to stay aligned as you plan and teach. Every lesson and reading is now clearly labeled with the standards it meets. That way, you can easily check alignment, plan your lessons with confidence, and spend more time helping students succeed, knowing they’re always on track.
New Tools for Accessibility and Translations
We’re making it easier for every student to access and engage with TCI. Explore our improved speech-to-text integration and expanded translation tools—designed to support diverse learners and help every student succeed.
Supporting Students with Speech-to-Text
Supporting diverse learners continues to be a top priority at TCI. We now offer improved integration with speech-to-text tools, allowing students to use the built-in features on their Mac or PC to convert speech into written text. Whether answering notebook questions, tackling long-form assessment responses, or taking notes, students can use these tools to express their ideas.
More Languages, More Access
Reach more learners with our expanded translation tools. Now, students can highlight any part of the text and translate it into additional languages, including Chinese, Vietnamese, French, Italian, and more. Spanish language support remains available through our dedicated Spanish immersion toggle. Whether students are building their English skills or need content in their home language, TCI makes learning more accessible for everyone.
Upgraded LMS Integrations
TCI’s new LMS integrations are ready to go. With updated integrations for Canvas and Schoology, grading and classroom management are simpler than ever.
- Canvas LTI 1.3: Experience automatic grade syncing and other time-saving features to streamline your Canvas workflow.
- Schoology LTI 1.3: Now with automatic grade syncing, this integration helps you save time while keeping everything organized in Schoology.
Please note: TCI no longer supports older versions of these integrations (Canvas API and Schoology LTI 1.1).
With these updates, teaching with TCI will be easier and more flexible. You’ll save time on grading, quickly check standards alignment, and reach more students with improved accessibility tools. We’re excited for you to try these new features this fall and see the difference they make in your classroom.
