Diverse Text Sets
Project

These “formatted” units use the Historically Responsive Legacy (HRL) lesson plan template and were written by Early Literacy Coaches across the state.  As part of the Phase 1 work of the Diverse Text Set Project, Early Literacy Coaches attended learning and work sessions with Dr. Muhammad’s coaches.  At the culmination of Phase 1, Dr. Muhammad reviewed the units submitted by Early Literacy Coaches and provided individualized feedback.  The Early Literacy Coaches then made revisions and the HRL lesson template was expanded to reflect the extent of the coaching partnership between Early Literacy Coaches and Dr. Muhammad’s coaches.

Units that were reviewed by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad will have the following statement at the bottom of the document:

🌱This was submitted and reviewed as a Final Unit for Feedback to Dr. Gholdy Muhammad🌱 

The data collection for Phase 2 of the project contains student, teacher, and coach survey data across 25 classrooms and 13 districts.  ISD Early Literacy Coaches partnered with teachers in their county to implement mini-coaching cycles using CHRE units and lessons from Phase 1 of the project.  Surveys are available for teachers and coaches to collect their own data for administrators and continue data collection for the project. 

Testimonial videos support teachers, coaches, and administrators with sharing and collaborating around student impact of the Diverse Text Set Project.  These videos capture the outcomes of Phase 2 of the project through the compilation of student, teacher, and coach interviews.
