  1. ICSD Secondary Literacy Collaborative

  2. What is the Secondary Literacy Collaborative? It is a structure in which representatives from English, support services, special education, languages other than English, mathematics, social studies, library, and science, along with building and district administrators, and community members, work and learn in a collegial environment to improve secondary literacy skills, developing capacity to provide engaging, effective, and relevant literacy instruction across the content areas. We meet 4 times a year for a full school day. SLC representatives function as literacy leaders and share the skills and knowledge they have acquired back at their buildings.

  3. Secondary Literacy Collaborative Goal To empower students with meta-cognitive literacy skills that increase comprehension and deep understanding across the content areasto ease their transition from middle school to high school and to prepare them for life after high school

  4. Secondary Literacy Collaborative Objectives • Collaborate with colleagues within our school and with colleagues throughout the ICSD • Expand the ways we learn about our students and their needs as learners recognizing that they come to us with cultures and skills • Learn, use, evaluate and share instructional practices to meet our students’ needs • Create and make literacy resources available • Create and strengthen partnerships with students, parents and community organizations • Infuse essential, timeless and universal thinking skills in all instruction • Explore and incorporate 21st century tools

  5. The Collaborative is one step towards creating a culture of literacy at our secondary schools. What would a culture of literacy look like at your school? How would your school/our district (students, teachers, families and community) be different (beliefs, perceptions, experiences) as a result of making this our focus? Feel free to share you thoughts with me at lginenth@icsd.k12.ny.us
