Briefs

The Literacy Coaching Clearinghouse has created briefs about the following topics that are important to the work of literacy coaches, reading coaches, reading specialists, and instructional coaches. Members of the LCC National Advisory Board have written the current briefs. Authorship will soon expand to include additional LCC collaborators. Coaches may download the briefs and share them with interested groups. The vision is to create briefs that can be read and discussed in professional development sessions that are approximately 1.5 hours.
