Leading Literacy Growth That Lasts: A School Administrator's Guide to Building Sustainable Reading Success

As a school administrator, you've seen it all: promising programs that never take hold, teacher frustration with continuous change, and the persistent achievement gaps that keep you up at night. What if there was a different approach?

The most successful schools aren't jumping from one literacy initiative to the next. Instead, they're building integrated systems that connect curriculum, professional development, and student support into one powerful literacy approach.

This comprehensive guide reveals how administrators can create lasting change by focusing on what truly matters: teacher expertise, student-centered instruction, and data-driven decision-making. You'll discover practical strategies for:

• Building schoolwide consistency without stifling creativity
• Supporting teachers through meaningful professional development that actually changes practice
• Creating equitable pathways for all learners, including emergent multilinguals and students with learning differences
• Implementing sustainable systems that grow stronger over time

Unlike surface-level solutions, this approach addresses root challenges that prevent lasting improvement. You'll learn how to transform literacy outcomes by aligning resources, empowering educators, and creating cultures of continuous growth.

The research is clear: Sustainable literacy improvement happens when all the pieces work together. This isn't adding another program to your already full plate; it's creating a coherent system your school needs to thrive.

Ready to move beyond temporary fixes and build something that lasts? Your students, teachers, and community deserve nothing less.
