Each week or two, I will add a new post to continue the conversation. Please respond to one another and I will respond as well. Visit regularly as the topics will change and evolve.
Can you help me convince my district about the value of literacy coaching? Because we are a somewhat high achieving district, I think the administrators do not see the need. I believe in the model for students and teachers. Any suggestions you have would be helpful!
