Customized Onboarding Experience

With Clever (or Google Classroom), roster management is made easy. We will work with your team to choose the best rostering solution for your teachers and students. Students can quickly log in to CommonLit via Single Sign-On and teachers can focus on instruction (instead of resetting student passwords).

If your team is interested in our Canvas integration, check out our School Essentials PRO blog post to learn more!

Dedicated Account Manager

During the school year, your team will also have access to a dedicated account manager from CommonLit’s District Success team. This account manager will be on hand to provide consultative support to instructional leaders, and teachers will receive an answer to all technical questions within one business day.

Live Webinar Trainings

CommonLit’s instructional team will also lead up to two live webinars for your team throughout the school year. Many schools choose to start the year with an introductory webinar that helps teachers master the basics of browsing CommonLit’s digital library, customizing lessons, and tracking student progress. As the year progresses, we’ll work with your team to identify additional needs. We’re excited to lead additional training on data-driven instruction, best practices for using CommonLit 360, or strategies for differentiated instruction.

CommonLit Professional Development Portal

This on-demand training library includes over 60 trainings that focus on best practices for using CommonLit’s full digital program. Each module can be completed independently or facilitated by an instructional leader. Trainings focus on a range of topics including best practices for lesson planning, data-driven instruction, and parent communication.

The PD Portal also includes dozens of trainings that support the effective use of CommonLit 360. Trainings focus on high-leverage instructional best practices and specific strategies for each 360 Unit.
