Becoming a Literacy Leader by Jennifer Allen Pdf

The first edition of Becoming a Literacy Leader chronicled Jennifer's work as she moved to a new school and a new job as a literacy specialist and found herself tackling everything from teacher study groups to state-mandated assessment plans. The new edition of her book is a thoughtful, reflective evolution of her work as she rethinks how her identity and role as a literacy leader have evolved in the ten years since she wrote the first edition. She focuses on three ideas to describe her work: the concept of layered leadership, shared experiences in making meaning together, and the importance of rowing in the same direction as a school community. Jennifer firmly believes that teachers know what they need when it comes to professional development, and she describes the layers of support that coaches can implement within a school, including in-class support, curriculum support and assessment, study group facilitation, and the cultivation of teacher leadership. She provides an explicit framework for implementing these layers of coaching and explains how administrators can use the literacy leader position to build and sustain change within their schools. Literacy leaders and coaches can use this book as a road map for how to approach their work with purpose and intention. Online videos that accompany the book bring the text alive by showing readers what coaching looks and sounds like.

Literacy Look-Fors by Elaine K. McEwan-Adkins Pdf

With all of the reform models, research-based programs, leadership training, and professional development focused on reading and writing, we certainly know more about literacy today than we ever have before. So why are schools still suffering with low literacy levels? The answer lies in ineffective and unbalanced literacy instruction. As literacy is at the center of educational achievement, administrators and literacy leaders are tasked with ensuring that teachers are balancing the needs of individual students, the literacy content, and their instructional approaches to provide students with the best possible chance of attaining literacy standards that are at grade level or higher. Literacy Look-Fors: An Observation Protocol to Guide K 6 Classroom Walkthroughs is a practical, research-based resource that addresses two of the biggest challenges facing elementary school literacy leaders today: 1.How can I acquire the knowledge I need to become an effective literacy leader? 2.How can I become more purposeful and focused in conducting classroom walkthroughs? This book lays out the look-fors that are critical to effective literacy instruction. But understanding and recognizing the look-fors is not quite enough, especially when trying to reach the bottom 20 percent of students. Therefore, Literacy Look-Fors also walks the reader through the implementation process of those look-fors to give literacy leaders the power to bring all students to grade level, or well above, when it comes to literacy attainment. The literacy look-fors observation protocol is a formative whole-school instructional capacity assessment containing sixty-five research-based indicators. It is designed to guide your classroom walkthroughs during the literacy block. It will also enable you to assess the extent to which professional development and literacy coaching initiatives in your school and district are making an impact on instruction, and will suggest what types of embedded professional development programs may be needed for individuals, grade levels, or the entire faculty. Through the unique seven-step process outlined in Literacy Look-Fors, administrators and literacy leaders will gain a solid understanding of how to assess and build instructional capacity, overcome roadblocks, develop targeted and embedded professional growth opportunities, and create a balanced literacy program to raise literacy levels.

Shifting the Balance, 3-5 by Katie Cunningham,Jan Burkins,Kari Yates Pdf

In this much anticipated follow-up to their groundbreaking book, Shifting the Balance: 6 Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Balanced Literacy Classroom, authors Jan Burkins and Kari Yates, together with co-author Katie Cunningham, extend the conversation in Shifting the Balance 3-5: 6 Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Upper Elementary Classroom. This new text is built in mind specifically for grades 3-5 teachers around best practices for the intermediate classroom. Shifting the Balance 3-5 introduces six more shifts across individual chapters that: Zoom in on a common (but not-as helpful-as-we-had-hoped) practice to reconsider Untangle a number of "misunderstandings" that have likely contributed to the use of the common practice Propose a more science-aligned shift to the current practice Provide solid scientific research to support the revised practice Offer a collection of high-leverage, easy-to-implement instructional routines to support the shift to more brain-friendly instruction The authors offer a refreshing approach that is respectful, accessible, and practical - grounded in an earnest commitment to building a bridge between research and classroom practice. As with the first Shifting the Balance, they aim to keep students at the forefront of reading instruction.
