Sustainable Literacy Leadership
According to Connecticut's K-3 Literacy Strategy, establishing both a district literacy leadership team and a school-based literacy leadership team in which all stakeholders are represented is a powerful step toward building a sustainable literacy system. These teams might include, but are not limited to:
| District Literacy Leadership Team | School-Based Literacy Leadership Teams |

Check out what districts have to say about the impact of all stakeholders working together to select, adopt, and implement K-3:
“In order for a new curriculum to thrive, all stakeholders across the district need to be involved and invested.”
“We had great support from our superintendent, who is our ultimate instructional leader in the district, who really encouraged this shift in our curriculum.”
“Getting the leadership team in the building into the classrooms and supporting the teachers is a huge part of it and really helped us to be successful.”
“Another consideration is to include teacher voice in the decision-making process. So our staff met and brainstormed things that we wanted and needed within a curriculum which gave us some look-fors when we were exploring the different curriculum options. This also helped teachers to be more on board and excited for the change.”
