An Academic Leadership Team (ALT) includes principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, specialists, and district-level leaders who guide instructional practice. Effective literacy instruction begins with a shared vision, consistent expectations, and leaders who understand what quality instruction looks like in classrooms.
Leach Literacy Training supports ALT teams by helping leaders build a unified approach to literacy instruction and develop the knowledge needed to support teachers with confidence on their campus and in their district.
Vision Setting Discussions
Strong literacy systems start with aligned beliefs and expectations. Vision setting brings campus and district stakeholders together to build a shared understanding of best practice literacy instruction. These conversations create clarity and often serve as the turning point in helping leaders understand their role in guiding instructional change.
Content Area Training
To effectively support teachers, leaders need a clear understanding of what strong literacy instruction looks like. Our content area training helps ALT members deepen their knowledge of best practices so they can observe instruction, support teachers, and guide campus improvement with confidence.
Walk-Through Calibration
Walk-through calibration allows literacy leaders to observe classrooms alongside an expert. This process builds individual leaders’ ability to identify instructional strengths, offer meaningful feedback, and support teachers in making small shifts that create lasting improvement.
Document Creation for District Alignment
Clear documentation creates consistent literacy expectations across classrooms and campuses. We support districts by creating:
- Literacy Block Definitions
- Curriculum Documents
- Look-Fors Documents
- Literacy Framework support documents
These tools help leaders communicate expectations clearly and support teachers more effectively.
