TESTIMONIALS

Loved by teachers, trusted by administrators

Get inspired by the experiences of educators who’ve seen the impact of our program.

Two teachers completing a CommonLit Professional Development module on a laptop.
“CommonLit is cohesive and saves time. The unit plan is already made for teachers, the pacing is done for them, the assessments are already made, and they’re all aligned. This enables teachers to focus on building their knowledge of content and pedagogy in order to be able to effectively improve instruction.”
Caitlin Lindh
Assistant Principal
Collaborative Arts Middle School

“I can say within a year and a half that we've seen a huge shift that we never thought possible with alignment within the ELA department, and we have seen performance skyrocket because of it.”
