I would used technology as a means to supplement traditional classroom instruction. Students often learn in different and varying ways. By utilizing multiple sources of instruction, students can have a differentiated and much more enriching learning experience.
What other information or tools do you need to successfully integrate technology and literacy instruction? Ask your colleagues for input.
In terms of information, have a recent and up to date curriculum will be needed. Here it is important to have strong standards that incorporate the latest learnings in education. From a tools standpoint, it will be important to have software and equipment that can be used by students in the learning journey. Equipment would include tablets, strong internet connection, and other and achievement of diverse learners, particularly in the content areas?
Technology can be used to improve performance due to its flexibility and embedded differentiation. Technology allows students to learn and work in isolation or in group. It allows them to work in the day or the night. It allows them to focus on topics that they are interest it, providing options as it relates to discovery and learning. Teachers must be sure to guide this discovery and mitigate the impacts of students searching for unproductive information (Abrahamsson, 2008).
As a leader in an educational environment, how would you lead an initiative to strengthen literacy among diverse student populations?
I would first need to establish want the minimum acceptable standard as it relates to literacy will be. This can be accomplished by overserving surrounding schools and looking to exceed their performance in literacy. Next,…

Literacy Coaching: Elementary Grades Learning to read and write begins early in children's development, long before they enter kindergarten. Moreover, literacy skill development in early childhood provides the foundation for children's long-term academic success. Over the past two decades, researchers have identified key emergent literacy skills that develop progressively in children during their preschool years and are highly predictive of later success in learning to read (Elish-Piper, 2011). These skills include
Roskos (2004) contradicts that in their article becasuse they explain how wonderful early literacy has become with getting new technology but forgets to mention that only schools that have the money are able to have theses luxuries.
