swipe to left/right to switch between curricula PSAT, SAT, Pre-ACT, ACT & CLT ### TEACHING TO TEST VS. TEACHING FOR UNDERSTANDING As more and more states switch to the PSAT, SAT, Pre-ACT, ACT or CLT as the high school exit exam or state test for school accountability, teachers and administrators are looking for ways to show growth for all students. Unfortunately, most solutions designed for the PSAT, SAT, Pre-ACT, ACT & CLT are simplified “test-prep” programs that do very little to develop lasting knowledge and understanding in ELA and math. DOWNLOAD SCOPE & SEQUENCE (PSAT/SAT & Pre-ACT/ACT) DOWNLOAD CHALKTALK’S INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN (PSAT/SAT & Pre-ACT/ACT) [Book Demo](https://bit.ly/book-demo-chalktalk) ### THE ONLY ADAPTIVE CURRICULUM FOR TEACHER-LED INSTRUCTION ON THE PSAT, SAT, PRE-ACT, ACT & CLT ChalkTalk’s adaptive instructional content is aligned to state standards and focused on core ELA and math skills, such as “solving systems of linear equations with two variables” and “identifying the main idea of a History reading passage.” This is why students not only score higher on the PSAT, SAT, Pre-ACT, ACT & CLT, but also report better grades in their ELA and math classes. Less than 10% of the ChalkTalk curriculum covers test-taking skills, such as: exam format, scoring, timing, significance, pacing, backreading, and multiple choice elimination. Put simply, ChalkTalk does not ‘teach to the test.’ Instead, ChalkTalk helps teachers personalize their instruction in a way that engages every student and improves their understanding of ELA & math skills. Higher PSAT, SAT, Pre-ACT, ACT & CLT scores are simply a byproduct of deeper learning. ### CONTENT ≠ TEACHING MATERIALS Eureka Math and Illustrative Math curricula are the most widely used curricula in America. They are highly rated on EdReports.com due to the fact that they are carefully crafted, with a lot of attention to details that are not visible on the surface, such as the sequencing of learning experiences, mathematical connections, and instructional routines appropriate to the specific learning goals of a particular activity. But whether using Eureka Math, Illustrative Math, or another math curriculum, the learning content stays the same. For example, the equation for an area of a circle (A = π r²) doesn’t change from one curriculum to another nor does the order of operations for arithmetic calculations. But what does change are the lesson plans, teaching materials, and methods that teachers use to teach these concepts.

PERSONALIZATION. Teachers take in the tens of thousands of PDFs and/or print materials that make up these curricula and then convert them into differentiated lesson plans and teaching materials that align with their custom course schedule and target student populations (ELL, intervention, honors, …). Examples of teaching materials they create include teaching slides, teaching notes, worksheets, group activities, practice, and assessments. This takes teachers a huge amount of time and these materials aren’t always differentiated and effective. ChalkTalk takes in your curriculum (Eureka Math or Illustrative Math), your school schedule, and a student placement test as its three inputs. Then, for every day in the school schedule, it outputs a lesson plan with actionable teaching materials for the whole group level, small group level, and individual student level. Teachers can use ChalkTalk’s machine-generated content in their courses, replace pieces of ChalkTalk’s content with their own, or browse through a vetted database of what other teachers around the country have been using to teach specific modules and import that content into their courses. Arbitrary modifications to the Illustrative Math or Eureka Math curricula could break mathematical coherence and pedagogical design, leading to adverse effects on outcomes. But different schools have different needs so we must create room for customization. ChalkTalk allows teachers to customize their lesson plans and collaborate on teaching materials—all while preserving the original sequence, mathematical coherence, and pedagogical design of the basal curricula. Welcome to the future of real-time learning. ### TEACHING TO TEST VS. TEACHING FOR UNDERSTANDING The TSIA2 & ACCUPLACER tests are used by K-12 and post-secondary programs to determine whether students are ready for college-level courses. If students score poorly, they are either denied admission to post-secondary programs or are enrolled in mandatory non-credit bearing ELA or Math remedial coursework. Between 40% and 60% of first-year students take remedial courses in ELA, math, or both; but only 10% of students who begin their college career in remedial classes graduate on time. And two out of three remedial students don’t earn a degree at all. ChalkTalk changes this.
