{"product_id":"literacy-leadership-six-strategies-for-peoplework","title":"Literacy Leadership: Six Strategies For Peoplework","description":"Literacy educators seldom view themselves as leaders beyond the classroom. In recent years, however, teacher leadership has received increased attention in schools and school districts and at the state and national levels. This book will guide you in improving your literacy leadership skills so you can ultimately enhance your professional practice. Author Donald McAndrew first reviews the major theory and research on leadership while focusing on leadership in schools and literacy education to familiarize you with the specific theory, research, and practice of leaders. He then presents six strategies used by successful leaders to do the ''peoplework'' at the heart of leadership: 1. Create and communicate a vision. 2. Be a model. 3. Experiment with new ideas and take risks. 4. Nurture competence, trust, and collaboration. 5. Encourage the heart. 6. Transform yourself through reflection and learning. You will learn the importance of each strategy, its connection to theory and research, and additional methods for putting each strategy to work. More important, you will be able to use these strategies to improve your peoplework skills as you interact with students, parents, and colleagues to promote the importance of literacy development. Use this book to become a literacy leader and improve the vision of literacy in your classroom, school, and community.\nThe International Reading Association is the world's premier organization of literacy professionals.
