The District Reality

Your ELL and DHH programs share the same tools problem.

10%+ of your students are multilingual learners or DHH. The software your district licenses wasn't built for either population — it was built for native hearing English speakers with ELL or DHH support bolted on as an afterthought.

The gap your current tools leave open

ELD reclassification rates are stagnant. Teachers are overwhelmed trying to differentiate for 12 languages in a single classroom. Title III funds need measurable outcomes but you can't demonstrate ROI on tools that weren't designed for this population.

  • ❌ Generic platforms treat "ELL support" as a Spanish toggle — leaving students who speak Somali, Arabic, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole without real scaffolding
  • ❌ IEP and 504 accommodations managed in spreadsheets, not enforced automatically at the moment of instruction
  • ❌ Reclassification data siloed — no district-level view of which students are reclassification-ready or stuck in Tier 3
  • ❌ Teacher Feedback is anecdotal — administrators have no real-time signal on which classrooms need intervention support
  • ❌ Title III reporting requires manual data pulls across three systems, two days before the federal deadline
  • ❌ DHH students whose primary language is ASL have no dedicated support — they're placed in generic ELL tracks or handled ad-hoc, with IDEA compliance documented in spreadsheets

Why Districts Choose Kuliso

Built by ESL specialists. Deployed at district scale.

Not a general-purpose learning platform with ELL features layered on. Kuliso was designed from scratch for multilingual classrooms.

🌍
246+ Languages — Not Just Spanish
Kuliso serves your entire multilingual population: Somali, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Amharic, Pashto, and 239 more. Every student gets native-language scaffolding, not a Google Translate shortcut.
Whole-District Coverage
📐
Standards-Aligned Across All 50 States
Common Core (CCSS), TEKS (Texas), CPALMS (Florida), NGSS (science), Virginia SOL, and every other state framework. Every student activity is automatically tagged to the standards your district reports on.
No Configuration Required
⚙️
ESOL / IEP / 504 Accommodations Built In
Accommodation profiles for ELL and DHH students managed centrally and enforced automatically at the moment of instruction. Captioning, ASL support, extended time, visual-first mode — all managed in one place and auto-documented for IDEA compliance.
Compliance by Default
📈
ELD Reclassification Dashboard
Real-time reclassification readiness scores per student. District-wide view of which students are at the reclassification threshold, which are stuck in Tier 3, and which classrooms are driving the most progress.
Measurable Outcomes
🧑‍🏫
Teacher Feedback Coach
Gives staff actionable insights about each student's language development — not just data, but specific instructional recommendations. Reduces the burden on overextended ESL specialists while scaling their expertise across the building.

🏛️
District-Level Analytics
Roll-up views across every school, every classroom, every student. MTSS Tier tracking, reclassification pipeline, Title III outcome metrics — all exportable for federal and state reporting. No manual data pulls.
Federal Reporting Ready
Deaf & Hard of Hearing (DHH) Students

For ASL-native students, English is a second language. Kuliso treats it that way.

A student whose primary language is American Sign Language isn't failing English — they're learning it as a second language. Kuliso's language-of-instruction model applies the same scaffolding it uses for ELL students to DHH students, because the linguistics are identical.

💡
One platform. Two funding streams.

Title III covers ELL students. IDEA covers DHH students. Kuliso is purpose-built to serve both — giving your district a single procurement, a single contract, and a single compliance dashboard for two distinct student populations and two distinct federal funding sources.

✓ Title III — ELL students ✓ IDEA — DHH students ✓ One platform, one contract

Visual-First Interface
Content presented with visual priority — diagrams, icons, and structured layouts that reduce reliance on auditory processing. Designed for students whose primary learning channel is visual.
DHH-Native Design
💬
Captioned & Transcribed Content
All audio and video content is captioned. Text transcripts available for every instructional element. No DHH student is blocked from content because it wasn't delivered in their accessible format.
Full Accessibility
🤟
ASL Vocabulary Support
ASL gloss annotations and English–ASL concept mapping for academic vocabulary. Students who know a concept in ASL get the bridge to English print literacy — not a blank slate.
ASL Bridge
📋
IEP / 504 Accommodations — Automatic
Accommodation profiles for DHH students are enforced at the moment of instruction — extended time, captioning on, visual alerts only, and reduced auditory load. Documented automatically for compliance.
IDEA Compliant
📊
English Literacy Progress Tracking
Separate English literacy progress dashboards for DHH students — tracked independently from ELL reclassification metrics. Special Ed directors get the IDEA-aligned outcomes reporting they need.

Same Platform, Shared Admin
ESL coordinators and Special Ed directors work from the same district dashboard — separate views, shared infrastructure. No second contract, no second vendor, no second implementation project.

Why Kuliso works for DHH students without modification

Kuliso's core model separates language of instruction from primary language. For an ELL student whose home language is Spanish, instruction is in English but scaffolded through Spanish. For an ASL-native DHH student, instruction is in English but scaffolded through ASL concepts. The architecture is identical — only the language pair changes. This isn't a retrofit. It's the same engine, different language pair.

ROI Analysis

The numbers are straightforward.

At $8–$20 per student per year, Kuliso costs less than one day of an ESL aide's salary for an entire classroom. Adjust your district size below.
