A LEADER’S GUIDE

“A necessary guide for school leaders who recognize the only way to impact student achievement in every subject area is through improving student literacy. This book presents the compelling argument for why literacy is a schoolwide effort, and it provides specific strategies to close the gaps between students who are proficient in essential skills and those who are not.”

“There are times as a leader when a professional reading crosses your desk, and it stops you in your tracks. A Leader’s Guide to Reading and Writing in a PLC at Work, Secondary was one of those times for me. With essential guidance throughout, each chapter also includes invaluable next steps to support leading.”
