Leading for Literacy Forum Materials

The Ohio Resource Center and the Ohio Department of Education’s Office of Literacy have partnered to present a series of Leading for Literacy Forums, adolescent literacy leadership conferences specifically designed for Ohio administrators and educators serving grades 6-12. The events featured national and regional literacy specialists focusing on effective leadership and strategic planning for improving literacy. Team participation from Ohio schools and districts was encouraged in order to further literacy through collaboration across disciplines.

For your reference, many of the speakers’ handouts are available by clicking on the links below, as are the Forum agenda. Also available is a publication of professional articles by the Forum presenters called Leading for Literacy: A Compendium of Best Practices for Successful Leadership in Adolescent Literacy.

Lastly, the quotes that were used as table centerpieces for the Leading for Literacy Forum are available as well. These quotes on literacy were taken from various Adolescent Literacy In Perspective articles.
