How Kuliso Drives Outcomes for Multilingual Student Populations

Whether you're measured by state accountability (VDOE, Ofsted, NAPLAN, IB outcomes), Kuliso is purpose-built to move multilingual student populations on every key indicator — without requiring additional FTEs.

SOL Pass Rate Improvement

Student Academic Progress

ELL students who learn in their home language first retain concepts 40% more effectively. Kuliso delivers grade-level SOL content in 20+ languages, with English scaffolding built in — so students build understanding and English simultaneously.

Kuliso Mechanisms
SOL-aligned practice Native-language tutoring Adaptive diagnostics WIDA-aligned scaffolding

Achievement Gap Reduction

EL & All-Student Gap

The EL achievement gap in Virginia averages 30+ points on SOL assessments. Kuliso provides personalized multilingual support that targets each student's specific skill gaps — moving EL students toward proficiency at the same pace as their English-dominant peers.

Personalized skill gap targeting MTSS Tier 1/2/3 integration IEP/504 accommodations Skill mastery tracking

Chronic Absenteeism Reduction

Attendance & Engagement

Students who feel behind disengage and stay home. Kuliso's gamification system — XP points, streaks, badges, and leaderboards in their home language — creates intrinsic motivation that drives daily app engagement and in-seat attendance.

ELD Reclassification Acceleration

English Proficiency

Districts are evaluated on the rate at which EL students achieve English proficiency. Kuliso's language-bridging approach explicitly connects home-language concepts to English academic vocabulary — accelerating WIDA proficiency growth and reducing time-to-reclassification.

How It Maps: U.S. State Accountability (VDOE)

Kuliso maps to accountability frameworks worldwide — U.S. state systems, Ofsted (UK), NAPLAN (Australia), IB outcomes, and more. Here's how it works for Virginia districts as one concrete example. International schools: ask us for your country's framework mapping.

Designation What It Means Key Criteria Kuliso's Role
Level 1: Accredited Meets all benchmarks across all indicators. Full accreditation status. SOL pass rates at or above targets; EL achievement gap within acceptable range; chronic absenteeism below threshold Maintain Level 1 by sustaining multilingual student progress
Level 2: Warned Missing one or more indicators but not yet in intervention. School has time to improve. One or more of: pass rate below target, achievement gap widening, absenteeism above 10%, ELD progress stalled Targeted intervention for EL students moves the specific lagging indicator
Level 3: Accreditation Denied Persistent failure to meet benchmarks. Triggers state intervention and resource requirements. Multiple indicators missed over multiple years; may include corrective action plans, leadership changes Systematic EL support as part of corrective action; measurable SOL and reclassification data for state reporting

VDOE accreditation criteria are updated annually. This table reflects the current framework as of 2026. Consult your Division Superintendent for the latest threshold values.

From Off Track to Accomplished

A school's accreditation trajectory depends on whether its most at-risk populations — often multilingual learners — are progressing. Kuliso is the catalyst that moves EL students from lagging to leading indicators.

Off Track

EL students struggle without native-language support. SOL scores lag. Reclassification stalls. Absenteeism climbs. Accreditation designation: Level 2 or 3.

On Track

Kuliso deployed. Students engage in home-language tutoring. SOL practice aligned. ELD reclassification rates improving. Chronic absenteeism trending down.

Accomplished

Achievement gap narrows. SOL pass rates at target. EL reclassification accelerated. School achieves or maintains Level 1 Accredited status.

Kuliso is the bridge between where your multilingual students are and where your accreditation indicators need them to be.

No new FTEs required. No rip-and-replace of existing curriculum. Kuliso works alongside your teachers — as a tireless, always-on, multilingual AI tutor for every student who needs it.

How to Pay for Kuliso With Existing Federal Funds

Kuliso is purpose-built to qualify under the most common federal and state funding streams for multilingual learners. Your purchasing office won't need to get creative.

Title III — ESEA

Language Instruction for English Learners & Immigrant Students

Title III funds supplemental educational services that help EL students attain English proficiency and meet state academic standards. Kuliso's AI tutoring, ELD reclassification tracking, and WIDA-aligned instruction map directly to allowable Title III expenditure categories.

Procurement language: "AI-powered supplemental language instruction software providing personalized tutoring in 20+ home languages, aligned to WIDA and state ELA/content standards, supporting English language development and academic achievement for EL students (ESEA Title III, Subpart A)."
IDEA Part B — OSEP

Special Education for Students with Disabilities

For EL students with IEPs or 504 plans, Kuliso's built-in accommodation engine — audio support, extended time scaffolding, visual aids, and simplified language modes — qualifies as a supplemental special education technology resource under IDEA Part B.

Procurement language: "Supplemental assistive and instructional technology supporting IEP and 504 accommodations for EL students with disabilities, providing home-language scaffolding, accessibility features, and progress monitoring aligned to individual education goals (IDEA Part B, 34 CFR §300.320)."
Title I — Part A

Improving Basic Programs for Disadvantaged Students

Title I funds schools serving high concentrations of students from low-income families. EL students are disproportionately represented in Title I schools. Kuliso's evidence-based instructional software qualifies as a Title I supplemental service when used to support at-risk EL learners.

Procurement language: "Evidence-based supplemental instructional technology for at-risk multilingual and English Learner populations, providing personalized multilingual tutoring to improve academic achievement in Title I schools (ESEA Title I, Part A, Section 1003)."
State ELD / ESOL Funding

State-Level English Language Development & ESOL Grants

Most states distribute additional per-pupil funding for EL students through their state ELD or ESOL formulas. These funds are designed to supplement federal allocations and cover instructional tools, staffing, and materials for English language development programs.

Procurement language: "AI-based ELD instructional software aligned to state English Language Proficiency standards, providing differentiated home-language tutoring and progress monitoring for English Learner populations funded through state ELD/ESOL allocation."

Need a sole-source justification or cooperative purchasing language?
Kuliso's unique combination of 20+ language support, MTSS integration, IEP accommodations, and ELD reclassification tracking is not replicated by any other single edtech platform — making it straightforward to justify as a specialized purchase.
