11 December final thought - when deciding to join LTQLP it was in response to a sense of inadequacy that I had been experiencing as a new instructional lead in an elementary setting. The myriad of supports offered through early ed, kindergarten and division is fantastic but for me, overwhelming. Beyond blind trust, how can I ensure each child is directly attended to and accommodated for? Mine has been a steep learning curve and attending these sessions and conversations have been a godsend. I have made commitments with my school and through the connections made here I am now much more competent at my job...much more to learn but it now seems possible.

In order to lead others you need to be clear about what you believe...

So what are your 'a-ha' moments of quality literacy instruction?  Have you achieved clarity around your beliefs? How will you continue to champion quality literacy instruction?

In session #3 we looked more closely at selected aspects in the Quality Literacy Instruction section of the QLPT. 

•  In which aspects do you still have questions?
•  How will learning more about the aspects of quality literacy instruction affect your literacy programming in your classroom OR as you lead literacy programming/instruction?

Something to think about :  For our final session on Thursday Dec. 11,  you will be asked to share with your colleagues what impact the QLPT has had in your role.
