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.
CommonLit Account Managers are instructional experts who will help your team make the best use of CommonLit.
Live Webinar Trainings
CommonLit’s instructional team will also lead up to two teacher professional development workshops 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. With this training, you can lean on formative data to develop reading intervention strategies for struggling readers.
