The first edition of Becoming a Literacy Leader chronicled
Jennifer's work as she moved to a new school and a new job as a
literacy specialist and found herself tackling everything from
teacher study groups to state-mandated assessment plans. The new
edition of her book is a thoughtful, reflective evolution of her
work as she rethinks how her identity and role as a literacy leader
have evolved in the ten years since she wrote the first edition.
She focuses on three ideas to describe her work: the concept of
layered leadership, shared experiences in making meaning together,
and the importance of rowing in the same direction as a school
community. Jennifer firmly believes that teachers know what they
need when it comes to professional development, and she describes
the layers of support that coaches can implement within a school,
including in-class support, curriculum support and assessment,
study group facilitation, and the cultivation of teacher
leadership. She provides an explicit framework for implementing
these layers of coaching and explains how administrators can use
the literacy leader position to build and sustain change within
their schools. Literacy leaders and coaches can use this book as a
road map for how to approach their work with purpose and intention.
Online videos that accompany the book bring the text alive by
showing readers what coaching looks and sounds like.
