Literacy Improvement in Grades 7-12— Teacher Handbook

This handbook outlines the critical factors for improving students’ literacy skills and defines exactly what teachers can do to design successful literacy activities in their own classrooms. A companion to the resource kit, Designing Literacy Initiatives for Whole School Improvement in Grades 7-12, it:

• describes the planning process, use of data, and application skills necessary for classroom literacy instruction
• provides classroom and schoolwide strategies and best practices that work, based on lessons learned from schools that wrote literacy plans
• guides teachers in building their own set of literacy activities to create a culture of improvement that increases student engagement and achievement
