Coherent Curriculum And Purposeful Writing Discussion Help
Coherent Curriculum And Purposeful Writing Discussion Help students explore the value of content-rich curriculum and purposeful literacy instruction as priorities for school leaders. The post draws on readings from Schmoker’s Leading with Focus and Bambrick-Santoyo’s text, asking students to connect Schmoker’s five-step leadership formula to real school experiences. Supporting research from Leithwood and colleagues on how leadership influences student learning further grounds the discussion.
After reading the introduction and Chapter 1 in Leading with Focus, discuss what in your school experience would lead you to believe that it is important to have a coherent, content-rich curriculum that is delivered through lessons that require purposeful reading and writing. Why should these be priorities that a school leader guards? Include in your discussion how the 5 Steps in Schmoker’s formula for effective leadership could assist your school if leadership shifted to this focus on simplification.
