Reading/Literacy specialists collaborate with and coach secondary educators to implement evidence-based instruction and materials that develop reading
comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and critical thinking abilities of all students.
You are the reading/literacy specialist at a secondary school. After your recent work with a content area teacher designing lesson plans to develop reading
comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and critical thinking, you believe there is a schoolwide need to design and promote an integrated, comprehensive, and
balanced literacy curriculum.
Develop a 500-750 word proposal for your principal that details your recommendations for a schoolwide implementation of cross-curricular instruction to
support literacy.
Address the following:
Explain how you will collaborate with the staff to emphasize the necessity to design and promote an integrated, comprehensive, and balanced literacy
curriculum.
Create a rationale for the need of a schoolwide initiative, including the benefits of cross-curricular instruction for staff and students. Include the
importance of supporting diverse student populations.
Describe your plan for implementation, including a timeline for professional development with a brief description of each training.
Justify the development of literacy curricula that integrates equity and diversity.
Support your proposal with 3-5 scholarly resources.
