Leading Change in Literacy Instruction for Enhancing
Student Success
This research paper aims to explore the
dynamics of leading change in literacy instruction in my school with the goal
of enhancing student success. I am starting a role as team lead in grade 4 next
year and part of improving our students literacy instruction is improving the literacy
program that is quite non-existent at this point. It delves into current
practices and innovative strategies employed in literacy education, while also
addressing the challenges and limitations faced in my school such as resource
limitations and the absence of comprehensive literacy curriculum, which hinder
the implementation of effective instructional practices. By examining the
impact of enhanced literacy instruction on various aspects of student success,
such as academic achievement and socio-emotional development, the paper seeks
to clarify the role of educational leadership in driving transformative change.
Additionally, it explores the importance of equitable access to literacy
education and offers practical recommendations for educational leaders to
foster positive change in literacy instruction, thereby paving the way for
improved student outcomes.
