In order to simplify planning and coaching across grade levels, CommonLit 360 units align vertically through text genres and unit writing outcomes. For example, every first unit of instruction across grades 6- 10 begins with engaging short stories that center around complex plots and the experiences of diverse characters. This vertical alignment allows professional learning communities (PLCs), coaches, and other leaders to foster collaboration within an ELA department. This design also allows for more coherent coaching and professional learning opportunities as teachers move in parallel toward common goals.
