Common Questions
Kuliso's Lesson Planner supports six major teaching frameworks: the Danielson Framework for Teaching, SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol), WIDA English Language Development standards, Marzano High-Impact Instructional Strategies, T-TESS (Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System), and VDOE (Virginia Department of Education). Select your framework at the start and the planner structures all lesson components — objectives, activities, assessment, and teacher scripts — aligned to that framework.
The planner generates differentiated scaffolding for all five WIDA English proficiency levels simultaneously — Entering, Emerging, Developing, Expanding, and Bridging. For each lesson component (guided practice, independent practice, and exit tickets), you get separate scaffolded versions per proficiency level, plus bilingual sentence frames in English and the student's home language. No manual differentiation required.
Yes — Kuliso generates teacher scripts for each lesson section with the actual language a teacher would use to introduce a concept, facilitate discussion, and close a lesson. Scripts include embedded ELL language scaffolds: sentence starters, vocabulary callouts, and comprehension check prompts. Teachers can edit any part of the script before printing or saving to their plan library.
Generic AI lesson planners have no concept of language acquisition. Kuliso's planner was built by ESL specialists and encodes best practices from SIOP, WIDA, and sheltered instruction research — not just curriculum alignment. Every plan automatically includes language objectives alongside content objectives, built-in scaffolding differentiated by WIDA level, and native language supports that a general-purpose AI tool would never generate without careful manual prompting.
Yes — Kuliso's Lesson Planner works across Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies for grades PreK–12. Specify the subject, grade level, standard, and language objective and the AI builds the full lesson around those inputs. ELL scaffolding is subject-specific: math lessons generate math vocabulary frames, science lessons generate observation language scaffolds, and ELA lessons include text annotation supports.
