NEW Literacy Resources for Elementary Principals
The KDE Division of Early Literacy has developed Principal Support Resources to assist elementary leaders in fostering a school culture that supports students’ growth as readers. Principals Lead the Way can be printed and posted or added to a clipboard as a quick reference guide to the top ten things every literacy leader needs to know. Scan the QR code at the bottom to access the full resource. The information is intended to support leaders in extending their work beyond school management to instructional leadership, helping to ensure teaching practices are grounded in High-Quality Instructional Resources, aligned with the Kentucky Academic Standards for Reading and Writing, and reflect evidence-based structured literacy practices.
