Challenges of English-Only Assessments

English-only assessments often disadvantage multilingual learners, distorting true academic performance, which leads to over-identification of students for intervention programs that do not address their actual needs.

By relying solely on English assessments, you may risk masking your students’ true capabilities, perpetuating achievement gaps and limiting future opportunities.

Flexible Implementation

We recognize the importance of supporting students in their native languages. Depending on each district’s policies and needs, our platform allows teachers to support students in their home language or in English. This flexibility ensures compliance with district regulations, including states that enforce English-only instruction, while still providing essential support for multilingual learners.

District Compliance

Language Settings

Instruction Models

Parallel Content

Beyond Translation: Transadaptation

We go beyond simple translation to ensure true linguistic and cultural appropriateness in both our lessons and assessments, ensuring cultural and linguistic authenticity in all lessons and assessments.

This includes both adapting English content and creating new native-language materials to address specific linguistic nuances, like differences in reading instruction.

For example, our Spanish language content recognizes the unique characteristics of Spanish literacy development, such as syllabic learning patterns, while maintaining alignment with grade-level standards and expectations.

Compliance with District Policies

We’re committed to adhering to district-specific policies regarding language instruction and assessment. Whether your district mandates English-only instruction or allows for multilingual instruction/assessments, Erudyte is designed to seamlessly integrate, ensuring that educators can meet accountability standards without compromising the needs of their diverse student populations.

Benefits of Multilingual Instruction

Extensive research, including studies published in renowned journals like the
Journal of Educational Psychology and TESOL Quarterly, supporting students in their primary language
provides a more accurate measure of their academic abilities, leading to stronger academic outcomes.
As such, multilingual support offers every student an equal opportunity to showcase their
knowledge and readiness to advance, fostering a fairer and more inclusive educational environment.

Cognitive Growth

Fosters enhanced brain development and deeper learning through bilingual instruction.

Knowledge Retention

Improves long-term academic success through better content understanding and retention.

Skill Transfer

Builds academic skills that seamlessly transfer between languages for comprehensive learning.

Student Engagement

Boosts participation and motivation by connecting with students in their preferred language.

Ensuring Cultural and Linguistic Relevance

Our content is crafted by native-speaking educators who understand the cultural and linguistic nuances of each language. For example, foundational reading instruction differs between English and Spanish, with English focusing on phoneme-level skills and Spanish emphasizing syllable-level skills.

By incorporating these differences, our assessments engage students more deeply, connecting to their backgrounds and lived experiences and ensuring fair, culturally relevant evaluations.

Our content development process prioritizes cultural authenticity

  • Native-speaking content writers and educators
  • Culturally relevant lessons and examples
  • Content that reflects diverse student experiences
  • Materials that celebrate linguistic diversity
