Avant, a leader in language proficiency solutions, today announced the launch of Mira Stride, a groundbreaking progress monitoring tool that helps educators track, support, and accelerate English language development in real time. This launch builds on the momentum of Mira Coach+, released in April, and advances Avant’s mission to drive meaningful growth in language proficiency through the company’s Learn, Assess, Certify process.

While Mira Coach+ focuses on personalized instruction and engagement, Mira Stride provides teachers and administrators with powerful, actionable data to inform instruction and improve outcomes for multilingual learners, especially in response to federal requirements around English language progress and accountability.

“Educators face growing pressure to show measurable growth in language proficiency, but often lack the tools to track it between annual tests,” said David Bong, Co-founder and CEO of Avant. “Mira Stride was built to meet that need. It gives teachers real-time insight into how students are using language in an academic context so they can intervene early and support true proficiency development.”

Powered by Avant’s proprietary MiraCore™ AI technology, Mira Stride delivers short, adaptive tasks across all four language domains including Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. Results are delivered instantaneously, correlated to state and national English Language Development (ELD) standards and automatically generate individualized learning paths. Teachers access intuitive dashboards, class snapshots, and downloadable reports to drive targeted instruction.

Designed to meet the needs of districts and classrooms nationwide, Mira Stride offers:

• Continuous Monitoring: Supplements once-a-year tests with ongoing, formative assessments correlated to Proficiency Language Descriptors
• Personalized Learning: Adapts task complexity based on student performance
• Academic Relevance: Tasks contextualized in Science and Social Studies themes

The launch of Mira Stride comes at a critical moment. Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states must set and report on English learner progress annually. While more than $1.5 billion in federal funding is currently allocated through Title I and Title III programs each year, the underlying challenge for educators remains constant: helping English learners make progress toward graduation and long-term career success. Schools are increasingly seeking affordable tools that ensure both accountability and equity for multilingual students, regardless of shifting funding priorities.

With Mira Coach+ and now Mira Stride, Avant is delivering on its vision to integrate learning, assessment, and certification, providing students and educators with the language learning solutions they need to succeed from classroom to college to career.

“Educators have long needed tools like these, but until now, they haven’t existed,” said Bong. “There’s nothing else like Mira Stride for English learner educators. It gives teachers the insight to make timely, informed decisions and gives students the opportunity to demonstrate the real progress they’re making.”
