[LM_NET] Gen: Helping principals create a culture of literacy

[Kimberly Brosan <kbrosan@WASD.ORG>]

From AASL Hotlinks for November:

Helping principals create a culture of literacy

"The National Association of Secondary School Principals
(NASSP) has released a new field guide for school leaders
on adolescent literacy. "Creating a Culture of Literacy:
A Guide for Middle and High School Principals" discusses
the importance of implementing literacy strategies across
the curriculum and gives practical steps and examples of
ways to confront the deficit in literacy skills in secondary
schools. The guide offers specific action steps, successful
school profiles, additional research-based expertise, and
important tips to remember when building a literacy program
at the school building level.

Through the help of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
and the Carnegie Foundation, NASSP is distributing a free
copy of the guide to every middle level and high school
principal in the country."
