Praise for this Resource
The kind of system-wide work described here has made an important difference in my district, and will—I believe—be a good guide for others as well.
Michael Matsuda, Superintendent, Anaheim Union High School DistrictAs a former teacher, instructional coach, and now curriculum director who has seen the benefits of Reading Apprenticeship for my own students and for teachers in schools and districts, I am eager to use Leading for Literacy as a resource for working with professional learning communities, developing teacher leadership, and supporting administrators’ understanding of what it really takes to help all our students achieve the kind of deeper literacy learning needed for the challenging texts and tasks we expect them to handle.
Melissa Devlin, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Literacy, Antietam School District
