Literacy planning should involve all stakeholder (administrators,<br />
classroom teachers, specialists) <strong>and</strong> be actively<br />
supported by committed leadership. Our planning approach<br />
is collaborative <strong>and</strong> designed to foster teamwork.<br />
It sets specific objectives, develops actionable plans, <strong>and</strong><br />
supports school-wide adoption.<br />
At this session you will address these essential<br />
components:<br />
& Assessment planning for screening, guiding<br />
instruction <strong>and</strong> progress monitoring<br />
& Literacy instruction in the content classroom<br />
& Interventions for struggling readers that<br />
address phonics, word study, fl uency, vocabulary<br />
<strong>and</strong> comprehension<br />
& Flexible scheduling to allow for grouping based<br />
on instructional needs<br />
& Long-term professional development plans<br />
& School-wide support through the establishment<br />
of a literacy planning team<br />
Session participants will be in a position to lead <strong>and</strong><br />
guide the implementation of a comprehensive literacy<br />
plan for intermediate, middle <strong>and</strong> high school grades.<br />

questions.<br />
