I agree with Helen - our Pitt faculty who prepare principals have said that those who understand literacy are the best! #ilachat

Q8 Standards identify what administrators need to know and be able to do, to support teachers and develop schools that are places of learning for all. Administrators can use the standards to understand the expectations for all literacy professional roles. #ILAchat #ilachat

Q 8 We recognize the importance of principals . See Standards that address what principals need to know and be able to do to be effective literacy leaders! #ilachat

We have an important task -and our Standard Writers did a great job of identifying what literacy professionals need - from understanding their own biases to developing a sense of respect and appreciation for the diversity that exists in our schools and in society. #ILAchat

School districts can use the Standards to think about the strengths and needs of their professional staff and design appropriate PL experiences. #ILAchat #ilachat

Love the focus on helping classroom teachers become the best they can be. We see both reading/literacy specialists and coaches as having important roles in collaborating with teachers and also supporting their work. #ilachat

Standards set the bar for all professionals who have a role in helping students become effective literacy learners. They can be useful to teacher prep institutions, states, and professional organizations to determine expectations.  #ILAchat #ilachat

Really appreciate the emphasis on knowing and caring for your students - an important quality for students -- and you'll find that in the 2017 Standards. Thank you for your views about this. #ilachat

Components of literacy support growth of each other. Eg: oral language is  key for young students in developing a foundation for learning to read; adolescents  develop their critical reading skills when they discuss what they have read with peers.  #ILAchat  #ilachat

Q2 Develop a network of colleagues – newbies and more experienced teachers. Be willing to risk and  use those ideas you learned about in your teacher prep program. #ILA Chat #ilachat

I think the strengths I see in new teachers is their passion for teaching and for the students they teach. #ILAchat
