Do Now: Reflection
• Why did you join the education profession? – What/who inspired you?– What did you hope to accomplish?
• Why do you remain in the profession?– What/who motivates you?– What do you hope to accomplish?
• How do you know if you’re successful?
Principals’ Meeting
January 27, 2015
Objectives• Know the goals, priorities and strategies of “Destination 2025” and the
DRAFT Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP)• Understand
– Need for and purpose of the strategic plan and CLIP--first “Destination 2025” action plan
– Vision, key elements (e.g., instructional design), and “why” of the CLIP– Timelines and expectations for early implementation, including your role– “Steps” in the effective management of complex change
• Be able to Do– Reinforce the District’s vision for school and student success (e.g., D2025
and CLIP)– Prepare your staff/school for complex change and deep, purposeful CLIP
implementation
Reflection
With your table group—• Review the Strategic Plan, “Destination 2025,” hand-
outs• Discuss the priorities, goals, and strategies– What, if anything, is unclear?– What surprises you (e.g., what’s missing or
emphasized)?– What are the implications for your work?

Revisit your Reflection
• Why did you join the education profession? – What/who inspired you?– What did you hope to accomplish?
• Why do you remain in the profession?– What/who motivates you?– What do you hope to accomplish?
• How do you know if you’re successful?
Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan
A systemwide strategy to leverage opportunities--experience and expertise--to
accelerate literacy learning across Shelby County Schools
CLIP BACKGROUNDWhy do we need it?
SCS’ Challenging Context• Increasing student needs (and demands on teachers)
– High number of high-poverty students– Growing number of ELLs– Limited family education– Low levels of reading readiness at school entry
• Higher expectations for students--college and career ready standards• Changing assessment and accountability expectations
– Teacher and Leader Effectiveness– TCAP and TN NCLB waiver (e.g., focus on 3rd grade and above, no accountability
for writing)– Increased pressure to improve/AMOs (e.g., ASD take-overs, school closures)
• Unstable district context (merger and de-merger)– Changes in benchmark assessments, RTI2 implementation and tracking, coaching
structure(s) and PD, etc. – Unstable staff at district, school, and classroom levels
• Lack of consistent vision and support

*Includes Alternative Assessments
Promising SCS Context• State and District leadership
– TN leader in state implementation of CCR standards– SCS and TN as models for teacher and leader
effectiveness/evaluation– Board of Education support– High levels of confidence in Superintendent, new
leadership team, principals– Renewed relationships with MSCEA– Clear, common goals—80/90/100%--and Strategic Plan
• External Support– Outside funders—local and national– Increased community interest and engagement
Promising SCS Context• Committed Staff, Students, and Families• Models to learn from– Strong evidence-base– Prior experience w/ Reading First, DBQ,
“workshop model”, etc.– Many schools making progress
Reflection:
• What has the District done in the past to improve literacy?
• How successful were those efforts? What worked, what didn’t?
• Why do you think they were not more successful?
CLIP OVERVIEWWhat is it? How is it different?
CLIP Guiding Principles• We are student centered. We believe all children can learn to high standards and our
work should be focused on ensuring each child achieves to these goals.– Teaching and learning should be aligned to the Common Core State Standards and
the instructional shifts implicit in them.– Goals for student learning are clearly communicated, student learning is regularly
and meaningfully assessed, and students (and families) receive regular feedback– Instruction should be differentiated to meet individual learning needs.
• We believe the classroom is the most important place in the district. To be successful, teachers need:– Clear expectations for performance and regular, quality feedback– High-quality instructional materials and resources (e.g., for planning and assessing)– Meaningful, timely and accurate data to assess student needs and modify
instruction– On-going, job-embedded professional development
• We acknowledge that literacy is a continuum (from decoding and language comprehension to comprehension and deep analysis) and in a Balanced Literacy approach to support its development.– Success requires articulation across grades and meaningful integration across
content areas
CLIP Guiding Principles, cont’d• We believe literacy teaching and learning is a shared responsibility
—– Across grade levels and departments– Across schools– Across organizational levels (e.g., teachers, coaches, principals, district
administrators, policy makers)– With our students, parents and families, community partners, higher
education, and the business community • We have a responsibility to ensure that professional development,
support, and accountability are aligned to our goals and vision for literacy teaching and learning (as defined in the CLIP) and effective teacher and leadership practice more broadly (e.g., TLE and TEM)
• We must continuously monitor progress, reflect, make improvements, and ensure accountability, as appropriate.
• We believe leadership matters—at all levels.
Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP)• Builds on our strengths; not another change of course, but clearer
commitment to what we already identified as “what works”Unlike earlier efforts:• Acknowledges complexity of literacy learning
– Reading, writing, speaking, listening– Developmental– Different across contexts, genres, content, etc.– Simultaneous need to build basic skills and promote high-levels of CCR
rigor • Clarifies expectations across all levels—
– Locating work within RTI2 framework, and setting expectations at each of core (Tier 1), supplemental (Tier 2) and Tier 3 levels
– Specifying expectations by grade-level bands, content, and role– Emphasizing areas of greatest need, e.g., reading foundations
• Noticing…

Comprehensive Literacy Improvement PlanUnlike earlier efforts:• Goes deeper—focuses on fidelity of implementation that
stresses quality (e.g., meaningful and effective use of research-based practices)
• Aligns supports and accountability• Implicates all stakeholders
– Literacy learning not just the responsibility of primary grades reading teachers• All grades, all content areas
– Specific responsibilities for coaches, school and district leaders, CBOs, students, parents and families
• Promotes coherence within classrooms, schools, and district
Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan
Includes:• Common vision for literacy teaching and learning—what do we
mean by “literacy” and what does effective instruction look like– Instructional time/blocks and designs by grade-level bands– Lesson planning template– Informal classroom “Look-Fors” aligned to TEM and targeted instructional
design• Curricular and instructional tools and supports
– Aligned instructional materials (e.g., core texts, Tier 2 interventions)– CCR-aligned curriculum maps and pacing guides– Sample lesson plans– High-leverage strategies and best practice resources
• School/leader supports– Explicit “non-negotiables”/best practices– Sample schedules
Comprehensive Literacy Improvement PlanTo include:• Improved RTI2 supports
– High-quality Tier 2 and 3 interventions– Streamlined (less labor-intensive) RTI2 tracking
• Aligned assessment vision, instruments, and related resources– Universal screener, diagnostics, formative/benchmarks, summative– Improved data reports and dashboards
• Aligned, high-quality professional development– Tiered support that ensures 1) access for all teachers, 2) differentiated
supports, 3) varied approaches, 4) comprehensive approach, and 5) on-going progress monitoring and continuous improvement
• Continuous progress monitoring
Reflection: How will you communicate the CLIP vision?
• Reflect on your prior experiences with literacy improvement strategies in the District– How does the CLIP sound similar? Different?
• Draft a brief description of the need for/purpose of the CLIP– What might an effective “elevator speech” sound like?– How might you introduce and advocate for the CLIP
with your staff?

Literacy in the Content Areas• Acknowledges each content area has its own literacy norms, text structures, and
challenges (e.g., genres, vocabulary, concepts, and topics)
• Appreciates vocabulary is strongly related to general reading achievement; includes both direct, explicit instruction and indirect, learning from context (e.g., listening, other reading instruction, reading) to support vocabulary and comprehension learning
• Models and reinforces metacognitive strategies, e.g., self-correction, question generating, visualization, annotation, connections/PK, summarization, graphic organizers
• Focuses explicit vocabulary instruction on words that fall between two tiers--words that students already know and those that are so rare as to be of little utility—and are used across content areas (academic vocabulary)
• Includes explicit instruction (including modeling) and practice in the literacies and content of each discipline
• Leverages writing as a means to learn and develop—how students make sense of, synthesize, summarize, and evaluate their learning (not just to assess content learning)
• Uses discussion and writing prompts to reflect on current understandings, questions, and learning processes help improve content-area learningIn

Aligning, Pacing, and Communicating Improvement Goals and Strategies
“As ‘environment, engagement, expectation and encouragement’ critically influence a teacher’s motivation to implement and refine literacy instruction, clear expectations from the principal and the Literacy Leadership Team are needed. …teachers need a broadened definition of literacy, excellent professional learning opportunities and a shared ownership of the literacy plan goals (Meltzer & Ziemba, 2006). …Teachers need… to feel comfortable and supported enough to try new instructional strategies and be willing to persevere when their first attempts fail or are more difficult than they expected. ‘Some teachers will initially give only lip-service to a literacy initiative’ (Meltzer & Ziemba, 2006). When teacher buy-in is inconsistent, morale quickly declines. During these times, unflappable instructional and leadership capacity provides the structure needed to ensure that all stakeholders uphold the common agreements of the school-wide literacy plan.” (Literacy Plan for Kentucky Schools, Kentucky Reading Association: 11)

Reflection: How will you support early CLIP implementation?
• Generate and record your own questions about the CLIP– What is unclear?– What do you still need to know to support consistent, high-quality
implementation?
• Consider the likely questions/concerns of your staff– What will be unclear?– What will most resonate with them?– What concerns are they most likely to have?
• Reflect on how you manage/lead change– What will you do to prepare for the various stages of CLIP implementation?– What will you do to alleviate anxiety? To get and respond to regular
feedback?– How will you acknowledge and celebrate early progress/small wins?– What will you need to be successful?
