Synopsis

Literacy coaching - a form of highly targeted professional development - can be a potent vehicle for improving reading skills. Standards for Middle and High School Literacy Coaches outlines the ideal of what a literacy coach should know and be able to do - in delivering both leadership and support in individual content areas. It is offered as a blueprint not only for literacy coaches themselves, but for policymakers, school and district administrators, and teacher educators, in the hope that it will help support and develop coaching in ways that will most benefit adolescent learners. (Support for this project provided by Carnegie Corporation of New York)
