Description
Expert coaches and anyone coaching for the first time will love The Literacy Coach!
Reviewers Sum it up!
"The framework in which this book is embedded is one of the more elegant ones in existence."
Donna Alvermann, The University of Georgia
"I found this book to be helpful to not only literacy coaches, but to classroom teachers who may want to become coaches or merely better understand their roles. I also believe building principals would find the book extremely useful...I only wish I had been given such access to all of this information five years ago!"
Amy Ely, Brush Middle School
Take a peek inside...
- Supports the professional development of literacy coaches by
a) giving a comprehensive look at how learners learn vs. just learning to read;
b) implementing the idea of categorizing coaching points (into three broad categories) to economize on time and attention; and
c) including three levels of observations (primary, secondary, and tertiary).
- Includes a description of the four cornerstones of any successful school reform model: students, teachers, administrators, and the literacy coach.
- Considers the NRP report andIRA's Standards for Literacy Coaches.
