The first edition of Becoming a Literacy Leader chronicled Jennifer's work as she moved to a new school and a new job as a literacy specialist and found herself tackling everything from teacher study groups to state-mandated assessment plans. The new edition of her book is a thoughtful, reflective evolution of her work as she rethinks how her identity and role as a literacy leader have evolved in the ten years since she wrote the first edition. She focuses on three ideas to describe her work: the concept of layered leadership, shared experiences in making meaning together, and the importance of rowing in the same direction as a school community. Jennifer firmly believes that teachers know what they need when it comes to professional development, and she describes the layers of support that coaches can implement within a school, including in-class support, curriculum support and assessment, study group facilitation, and the cultivation of teacher leadership. She provides an explicit framework for implementing these layers of coaching and explains how administrators can use the literacy leader position to build and sustain change within their schools. Literacy leaders and coaches can use this book as a road map for how to approach their work with purpose and intention. Online videos that accompany the book bring the text alive by showing readers what coaching looks and sounds like.

Why does society enjoy hating their villains with such passion? Are the judgments ever wrong? Can these villains be so easily tagged? These are the questions that the nine-year-old Sami Avery begins to ask and continues to ask in her poignant yet tumultuous journey through life. Sami struggles through devastating situations while learning that things aren't always cut and dry, black and white, or good and bad. Through hard work, and a stubborn spark of self-worth, she begins to create her own destiny. Leaving her hometown at sixteen, she confronts a part of herself, which she finds shameful and, like most others, will never admit that she was a part of. As the years go by, social norms continue to improve and, like others, she leaves ignorance in her past. Sami's experiences come full circle, however, in her thirties, when she falls in love with, and marries, a man twenty years her senior. She comes to more fully understand how insidious ignorance in judgments can be. Deeply depressed, she is nearly destroyed by it, until a single moment when all the events of her life come together. She remembers the strength she witnessed in a mentor who had dealt with the echoes of prejudice throughout the entirety of his life. Her epiphany is about connection, love and, most importantly, about forgiving ignorance.

There are somersaults and there are somersaults. Physically ... no big deal. Lots of people can do them. This book is about the other kind of somersaults - through life. In this case, from a little girl plunked into the mid-fifties in socialist Czechoslovakia to a rebel at school with beliefs twisted and turned by social storms. Then in 1968, her family lives through morphing into socialism with a human face, the consequent invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies, and ultimately, the Russian occupation. And eventually, for many ordinary people, the reality of the so-called Velvet Revolution of 1989.When the girl grows into a young woman, she fights with traditions and old thinking. Plenty of humour, the discovery of limits, many sides of the same coin, the power of friendship, stepping into worlds of taboo, and challenging one's own fear - every somersault has consequences. Intimate, funny, honest.If you enjoyed this book, try the sequel: Czech Mate
