A Literacy Coach’s Playbook – Adam Brieske-Ulenski (Hardback / Hard Cover)

Building a Winning Team to Improve Student Achievement

This book introduces the Clinical Literacy Coaching Framework (CLCF), an exciting new approach to literacy coaching and leadership that is aligned with the International Literacy Association’s standards for literacy professionals. Grounded in research and experiences from the field, the CLCF includes coaching practices and techniques adapted from teaching hospitals that can be applied in K-12 school settings. It differs from other literacy coaching models because it provides practical ways to establish buy-in and distribute leadership among all colleagues. Various tools, resources, links to videos, and examples of applications in schools will help coaches differentiate their work and develop colleagues’ collective efficacy for literacy instruction and leadership. This timely text reflects the new expectations and responsibilities that educators are experiencing in today’s schools and will leave readers feeling empowered and equipped to support their students and teachers. A Literacy Coach’s Playbook is a useful resource that coaches will continue to return to as they develop their school’s leadership team and transform literacy instruction. Book Features: Coaching responsibilities and tasks annotated with ILA standards. Guiding Questions at the beginning of each chapter. Pause, Ponder, and Note opportunities throughout the text to orient readers. Spotlights on Coaching at the elementary and secondary levels demonstrate concepts in action. Figures and appendices provided throughout to support the implementation of the CLCF and coaching work. The end of each chapter offers a Reflect and Self-Assess section that includes self-efficacy scale items to support the coach/leader’s confidence in their performance of coaching tasks.
