There is no better way to do this than through a teacher-created, home-grown literacy program that aligns standards with student needs all while remaining cognizant of the teachers who implement the curriculum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the process, teachers emerge as literacy leaders. The leadership paradigm shifts away from the principal as sole decision-maker and through a shared vision and collective efficacy, classroom teachers and administration form an alliance that ensures success for all students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause it is the shared responsibility to adapt the program to the learner, the hallmark of this instructional reform is relevant, job-embedded professional development that is provided in a timely fashion. This fosters a democratic learning community where decisions are made together and the status quo is challenged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Birnam,Debora Nary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475800746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475800746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e R \u0026amp; L Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Elizabeth Birnam","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453678366975,"sku":"9781475800746","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d059828c-7d0c-457b-857d-13c8f1dfe05c.jpg?v=1777301613","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-teacher-voices-are-heard-elizabeth-birnam-9781475800746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
