JumpRope is a standards-based gradebook that connects instructional evidence with defined learning standards. It helps teachers record mastery, give specific feedback, and examine student progress across multiple measures and points in time.

Students and families can see progress toward individual learning goals, while schools can compare performance across classrooms and review alignment of expectations. Districts should establish common standards, scoring rules, reassessment practices, reporting expectations, and conversion policies before broad implementation.

Khanmigo is Khan Academy’s generative AI tutor for learners and teaching assistant for educators. For students, it is embedded in Khan Academy learning activities and uses a guided, Socratic approach intended to help learners reason through a problem rather than simply supply an answer; it can also support questions in subjects beyond a specific Khan Academy exercise.

For teachers and districts, Khanmigo combines AI-assisted planning and classroom-resource tools with student progress information, interaction visibility, and the broader Khan Academy content and mastery platform. Classroom access for students is provided through school or district implementations, allowing leaders to pair AI tutoring with rostering, reporting, implementation support, and established instructional content.

Kialo Edu is a free education platform for mapping arguments and facilitating structured discussion. It is intended primarily for secondary and postsecondary learners examining debatable questions, with students, teachers, debate coaches, and content-area educators using it to support structured discussion, claims, evidence, counterarguments, source evaluation, and civic discourse.

Learners contribute pro and con claims, attach evidence, evaluate reasoning, and navigate a visual argument map synchronously or asynchronously. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

KickUp is a K–12 educator-growth platform that combines professional-learning management with coaching, walkthrough, feedback, and employee-evaluation workflows. Districts can centralize learning opportunities, attendance, credits, transcripts, forms, observation data, goals, and growth activity instead of maintaining separate systems and spreadsheets.

The platform is designed to connect professional learning with district priorities and evidence about educator practice. Modular licensing matters: districts should document whether they use Learning, Coaching and Walks, Growth, dashboards, or other components and how employee, identity, and course data enter the system.

Kide Science is Accelerate Learning’s play-based early science curriculum. It is intended primarily for preschool and primary-grade learners, with young learners, early-childhood teachers, families, and curriculum leaders using it to support inquiry, play, science practices, language, and imaginative investigation.

Children investigate science questions through stories, dramatic play, hands-on experiments, discussion, and documentation. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Kids Read Now is a managed book-distribution and family literacy program with supporting technology. It is intended primarily for preschool and elementary readers participating in school or summer reading programs, with students, families, teachers, literacy leaders, and community partners using it to support book ownership, summer reading, reading motivation, family engagement, and comprehension.

Children choose books for home delivery, families receive reading prompts and reminders, and schools monitor participation across a campaign. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Koha is a free and open-source integrated library system for cataloging, circulation, patrons, acquisitions, serials, authorities, reporting, notices, and public discovery. It supports single libraries, multi-branch systems, and consortia through browser-based staff and patron interfaces.

The software has no license fee or single required vendor, but it is not operationally free: districts must provide hosting, security, upgrades, backups, integrations, migration, configuration, and support themselves or contract with a Koha service provider. The quality and cost of the implementation depend heavily on that operating model.

Kuta Works is Kuta Software’s online assignment and assessment system. It is intended primarily for middle- and high-school mathematics students, with math teachers, students, interventionists, and department leaders using it to support practice assignment, procedural fluency, automatic scoring, and problem generation.

Teachers build assignments from Kuta problem banks, distribute them online, and review automatically scored student work. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Kyte Learning is an online professional-learning platform focused on practical technology and classroom-implementation training for educators. Teachers choose short, self-paced video courses and collections, allowing districts to provide on-demand learning without relying entirely on scheduled in-service sessions.

Administrators can assign or recommend content, organize district-created training, monitor participation, and recognize completed professional-development credit. The platform is most useful for differentiated, asynchronous skill development; districts should confirm how locally required hours, approvals, and transcript records are handled.

Lalilo is Renaissance’s adaptive early-literacy practice platform. It is intended primarily for early-elementary learners developing French or English foundational literacy, depending on regional availability, with students, early-literacy teachers, interventionists, and families using it to support phonological awareness, decoding, word recognition, fluency, and differentiated practice.

Students complete personalized literacy exercises with feedback while teachers review progress and assign targeted practice. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

LanSchool Air is Lenovo's cloud-based classroom-management platform for Chromebooks, Windows, Mac, and mixed-device classrooms. It gives teachers a live view of student screens and tools to limit websites, blank or lock screens, open a website for the class, share the teacher's screen, exchange messages, and respond to digital hand raises.

The system helps teachers manage attention and provide support during device-based instruction; it is not a full Chromebook inventory, repair, configuration, or lifecycle platform. Google Classroom, Clever, and ClassLink roster connections can reduce class setup, while district administrators manage deployment and the conditions under which monitoring is permitted.

Learning A-Z is a portfolio that includes Raz-Plus, Reading A-Z, Science A-Z, Vocabulary A-Z, and related services. It is intended primarily for early-childhood and elementary readers, with some resources extending higher, with classroom teachers, reading specialists, multilingual-learner staff, students, and families using it to support foundational literacy, leveled reading, science reading, vocabulary, and language development.

Educators select printable and digital texts, lessons, practice, quizzes, and progress information from licensed Learning A-Z components. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Learning Explorer is a standards-aligned instructional-resource search and lesson-building platform. It is intended primarily for K–12 educators finding and organizing instructional resources, with teachers, coaches, curriculum leaders, and students using it to support resource discovery, lesson planning, curriculum mapping, and differentiated assignment.

Educators find, curate, adapt, and assign lessons and digital resources from multiple providers. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Learning Explorer and Educational Leadership Solutions (ELS) merged in January 2024. The publisher now presents Pathways Learning Studio as a connected environment for learning, assessment, analytics and instructional resources, with a phased rollout announced for 2026. Learning Explorer, Lesson Planet, ScootPad and the Pathways assessment products retain distinct product histories; a company merger does not establish that a district uses every component.
