First Impressions

I decided to participate in these sessions as I have started emerging as a literacy leader within my school and I am want to learn more about how to guide a school into improving literacy for all students.  The one thing I have taken away from this first session is defining what literacy means.  The Denis Sparks quote, " In order to lead others you need to be clear about what you believe…" really resonated with me.  I need to spend time reflecting on what I believe literacy means to me.  I think this will be a critical first step as everyone on staff is going to have a different interpretation of this, so to help lead I will need to be grounded in my own beliefs.
