Literacy is the bedrock of culture, curriculum and classroom practice – it is the key that unlocks learning and social mobility for pupils across all phases. However, the world of literacy leadership is full of complexity, challenge and competing priorities. This handbook provides essential guidance for leaders responsible for developing literacy and learning across schools and trusts, dismantling the 'knowing doing' gap through evidence-based strategies.
Drawing on extensive research around effective implementation, the book explores key roles, responsibilities and practices required for successful literacy leadership. It guides readers through developing literacy knowledge and expertise, preparing and delivering implementation plans, and evaluating and sustaining impact over time. With an explicit focus on a phased approach – exploration, preparation, delivery and sustainability, the chapters offer practical strategies to:
• Develop literacy knowledge and expertise
• Develop a literacy leadership plan
• Lead effective professional development
• Target intervention pathways
• Create a culture of literacy
• Evaluate and sustain impact
Including examples and case studies from experienced literacy leaders across different schools and regions, this is the 'go-to' resource for all primary and secondary school leaders wanting to improve literacy outcomes for every learner across all subject areas.
