Language Arts & Disciplines : Literacy

At a time when all administrators are urged to be literacy leaders, Jennifer Allen's book provides an insider's view of leadership, and how to create an environment that fosters professional development.

This is a positive book, rooted in the belief that teachers know what they need when it comes to professional development in literacy, and the best literacy leaders are those who listen to and respect the educators in their midst. more...
