Leading improvement in literacy teaching and learning

Abstract

<p>School leaders have ready access to assessment data, motivating efforts to improve literacy outcomes of their students, but it can be difficult for principals to decide how to achieve these goals within their school's existing strategic plans and policies.</p> <p>With an opening chapter focusing on using and interpreting evidence, Dr Robyn Cox outlines the key areas of oral language, grammar, vocabulary and reading, as well as diagnostics and intervention.</p> <p><i>Leading improvement in literacy teaching and learning</i> provides a framework for a set of high-impact strategies that individually and together can be the focus of teacher professional learning, school improvement and student literacy achievement.</p>
