"Principals as Literacy Leaders" Project - 1 July 2008


APPA is currently developing a literacy proposal with 3 universities and systems around the theme "Principals as Literacy Leaders".  I thought you might be interested in some articles we are reading to support our work.

Three articles that you can download freely from the internet are:

1. Anne Alkema & Pam O'Connell - Looking for Leadership in Literacy Learning.
