"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
Helen Keller

In this module, you will have the opportunity to examine effective methods to provide literacy support. From walk-throughs to the TEAM evaluation model, you will need to consider how you will leverage leadership support to drive literacy improvement.

Thinking Points

• Does your current school leadership team support literacy at your school?

• What are ways that you see your leaders support literacy through your school’s mission statement?

Creating a Vision

Watch the video on the Building Blocks of Reading (Figure 1) . Pay close attention to Principal Bowmann.

Reflect

• Do you feel that Principal Bowmann models a clear vision? How?

• Explain how his vision supports the teachers and students?
