How can school leaders support writing across content areas in their schools?
School leaders in high schools can enhance and support writing improvement initiatives by first reaching out to teacher leaders in their content areas to find out what types of writing takes place in their department classrooms and what strategies they use. This will allow school leaders to get a larger view of what actually takes place in different departments. It will also reveal gaps in teacher knowledge / comfort level with using writing strategies in the classroom. From here, school leaders and teachers can collaborate and begin to formulate professional learning activities that will lead to the development of school wide writing improvement initiatives.
