Grounded in research but thoroughly practical, Jennifer Allen shares advice on    - organizing a literacy room with resources for classroom teachers, including book lists, bins of children's books tied to craft and strategy lessons, bulletin board ideas, and files with instructional materials  - developing intervention classrooms for struggling readers and writers built on collaboration between teachers and literacy specialists  - setting up assessment notebooks for teachers, and preparing new and veteran teachers for student assessments across grades  - creating model programs for dealing with schoolwide problems like reading fluency, and then moving from the pilot to implementation in many classrooms  - coaching new and veteran teachers in the latest literacy practices, without taking on the role of expert  - analysing and using books, videos, and journals in professional development programs  - infusing routine staff meetings with discussions of new literacy curricula  - leading teacher study groups using a variety of formats  - finding and budgeting money for professional development programs in literacy  - protecting time and scheduling priorities, to ensure the literacy specialist position doesn't become a “catch-all” for the random needs of teachers or administrators—from organizing a literacy room to creating model programs to leading teacher study groups to finding and budgeting money for professional development programs in literacy    This insider's view helps to define what leadership looks like and shows how to create an environment that fosters professional development. An optimistic and realistic portrait of life in schools among teachers committed to doing their jobs well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43662936571964,"sku":null,"price":25.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781571104199.jpg?v=1762958038","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/becoming-a-literacy-leader-supporting-learning-and-change-16314","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
