Literacy Leadership Team: One of the Keys to Successful Blast-Off!
Posted by Mona
Presenter: Sue Woodruff
Location: Gathering Room 1
School leaders are looking for help in redesigning their approach to literacy in secondary schools. When they look to us, SIM Professional Developers, it is critical that we prepare a school for success. Before an Apollo space mission, much work was done in planning, preparing, educating, and training everyone involved. What SIM Professional Developers and CLC Team Members have learned over the past 10 years is that this very preparation is critical not only to the continuing schoolwide effort, but more importantly to the continuity of literacy work in a school. This session will provide a forum to have dialogue about the roles and responsibilities of a SIM Professional Developer when working with a school and the roles and responsibilities of the team itself. Participants will have time to take a look at a variety of activities used with Literacy Leadership Teams and now available to the network.

Hi Everyone…
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the conference this year. You may want to download Literacy Leadership Activity #1 and bring it with you to the session. There is no need to preread all of the documents. I will be outlining briefly what is available. If you have other ideas that we could use, I would love to include them as well. There is a Table of Contents for the activities as well as a Framework.
This is a work in progress, and I would love to interview SIM Professional Developers who have been on Literacy Leadership Teams or have initiated teams in schools. Please contact me if you would be willing to spend a few minutes chatting with me about your experiences. I am trying to understand what the best practices are through listening to peoples’ experiences.
Safe travels!
Sue
