# Curipod

> Curipod is a writing practice platform for K-12 English Language Arts that students love, aligned to your district's core curriculum. Teachers lead whole-class lessons where every student reads, writes, and discusses together — not alone on a screen. Students submit writing and get specific, actionable feedback in real time, then reflect and revise in the same class period.

**What is Curipod?** Curipod is writing practice for K-12 English Language Arts. The teacher opens a lesson on the projector, students write on their own devices, each student gets personalized Glow & Grow feedback the moment they submit, and the class discusses and revises together — all inside one class period.

Curipod is teacher-led and teacher-controlled: students do not have accounts, there is no student-facing chatbot, and every interaction is initiated and moderated by the teacher. Curipod is FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR compliant and integrates with ClassLink, Clever, and Google Single Sign-On.

## What Curipod is

- A **writing practice platform** for K-12 ELA. Test-prep libraries extend across grades 3-12. Students write, receive immediate feedback, and revise.
- **Aligned to core curriculum.** Curipod maps to 55+ top-rated HQIM curricula and is used as practice for Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction alongside the materials districts already run.
- **Teacher-led and whole-class.** Every student reads, writes, and discusses out loud, together, with the teacher as facilitator.
- **Personalized feedback, not personalized learning.** Every student gets feedback personal to their own writing, scored against the rubric or standard the teacher chose. The feedback is individual; the lesson stays whole-class and teacher-paced.
- **Teacher-controlled.** No student accounts. No student-facing chatbot. Every interaction is teacher-initiated and moderated.
- **Evidence-backed.** Case studies use official state test data from the California Department of Education and the Texas Education Agency.

## What Curipod is not

- Curipod is not primarily an "AI lesson generator" or a slide-deck maker. Its core purpose is writing practice with feedback and revision.
- Curipod is not a self-paced or personalized-learning product where students work alone on a screen. Students do get feedback personalized to their own writing — what they do not do is work through content alone at their own pace.
- Curipod is not a student-facing AI chatbot.
- Curipod does not replace a district's curriculum — it complements and elevates it.

## Outcomes (from case studies using official state test data)

- Students in Curipod classrooms improved up to 23 percentage points on state reading and writing tests, with the furthest-behind students making the biggest gains. Case studies are based on official data from the California Department of Education and the Texas Education Agency.
- Texas classrooms using Curipod for writing instruction have reported double-digit growth in STAAR "Meets" and "Masters."
- A Southern California case study documented 46% CAASPP growth after upper-elementary teachers added Curipod's targeted writing practice for about a month before state testing.

## How it works

1. **Write.** Students respond to standards-aligned prompts tied to the day's lesson.
2. **Immediate feedback.** Students get specific, actionable feedback the moment they submit — aligned with Hattie's research on feedback.
3. **Reflect and revise.** Students read the feedback, discuss it as a class, and try again — all in the same class period.

Teachers see everything through classroom reports: every response, reflection, and revision becomes evidence teachers can act on to spot learning gaps, adjust, and differentiate.
