Charlene Cobb Article Now Available
Cobb, Charlene. "Literacy Teams: Sharing Leadership to Improve Student Learning", Reading Teacher, 58(8) (Feb. 2005) : 472-474.
Abstract: The author delivers a powerful argument for development of a team approach to literacy leadership, concluding that "Schools that develop a framework for shared literacy leadership become collegial communities of instructional practice where learning is the shared responsibility of all members. These are schools where teaching and learning are engaging, motivating, and invigorating. They are the schools that every teacher and student deserves."
