360Writing
Updated for 2025-26 to Align with Georgia’s New Standards!
360Writing is a flexible writing curriculum with a growing evidence base of effectiveness. With new standards in Georgia in 2025-26, it has received key updates to help students meet the writing expectations of Georgia’s new standards. The frameworks for each grade level follow a three-step pathway to success:
Build vocabulary specific to each writing technique
Build shorter pieces, following the writer’s process
Build more extended pieces, following the writer’s process (grades 3 and higher)
Each step of the way, the frameworks build students’ confidence and skill, leaving them better-prepared for the next step. And because the frameworks for each grade level follow the same pathway, writing instruction stays consistent from one grade level to the next.
Key Updates for 2025-26:
Exercises similar to the interpreting and constructing texts (ICT) exercises found on end-of-year assessments
Routine emphasis on interpreting texts in a variety of modes
Routine emphasis on using a variety of writing techniques (opinion-argumentative, expository, narrative/poetic) to construct responses
In short, the 360Writing frameworks remain grounded in research and tightly aligned to Georgia’s standards.
360Writing Across the Curriculum
Promoting Effective Multimodal Writing
Writing in mathematics, science, social studies, and connections courses can look very different than writing in ELA. The texts students first interpret often come in modes not typically found in ELA, such as maps, data tables, graphs, and political cartoons. With increased emphasis on multimodal writing in the new ELA standards, now is an ideal time to develop a thoughtful approach to writing across the curriculum, one that can help students become more confident when interpreting and constructing texts in different modes, in any subject. These professional learning sessions are designed to facilitate this approach. They emphasize:
Setting realistic goals for writing in each content area
Using simple rubrics to reduce grading time
Creating writing questions that are clear and consistently formatted in each content area
Ensuring that the writing questions are well-aligned to specific content standards/elements
