Publisher's Synopsis
This is a project of the International Reading Association in collaboration with National Council of Teachers of English, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, National Science Teachers Association, National Council for the Social Studies. 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 idea 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 also 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.
