Pillars of Literacy Collaborative
Pillar 1:Collective Ownership of Student Outcomes
Educators create a common vision for literacy learning in the school, collaborating in teamwork and shared leadership.
Teamwork for LiteracyEducators in the school work as one team responsible for the literacy outcomes of all children. Within the school community, educators form specific action groups for different purposes. Time is dedicated for literacy problem-solving, data analysis, and the implementation of Literacy Collaborative.
The School Literacy Leadership Team may include, but is not limited to: Literacy Coach
School Administrators (Principal, Assistant Principal, etc.)
Grade Level Representatives
Intervention Specialists
School Psychologist
School Counselor
Educators strive to create a home-community-school partnership working together toward a common vision. The School Literacy Leadership Team communicates progress toward the common vision with interested groups including teachers, school administrators, families, community members, the board of education, etc.
AI-35/1/2021
Pillar 2: Commitment to Research-Based Instructional Practices
Educators commit to implementing a coherent set of research-based instructional practices.
Core Instructional Language and Literacy PracticesThe Literacy Collaborative Comprehensive Literacy Framework includes a set of research-based instructional practices.
Students will have daily opportunities to think, talk, read, and write while engaging in whole group, small group, and individualized instruction.
Teachers have daily opportunities to monitor student achievement and respond with immediate instruction.
The Literacy Collaborative Comprehensive Literacy Framework (see image page 4) includes: ○ Interactive Read Aloud (Clay, 2004; Fountas & Pinnell, 2019; Hudson & Test, 2011; Kindle, 2009; Lennox, 2013)
■ Comprehending, Listening, Speaking, Discussing, and Interacting with texts (Beck & McKeown, 2001;
Rosenblatt, 1986)
■ Learning through Inquiry and Integrating the Curriculum (Costley, 2015; Drake, 1993; Sandoval, 2005)
○ Shared/Interactive Writing (McCarrier, 2000; McKenzie, 1985)
○ Shared Reading (Button, Johnson, & Furgerson, 1996; Holdaway, 1979; Hundley & Powell, 1999)
○ Reading Workshop (Clay, 1991; Fountas & Pinnell, 1996/2016; Holdaway, 1979; NAEP, 2008)
■ Reading Minilessons■ Guided Reading/Book Clubs■ Independent Reading/Conferencing■ Share
○ Writing Workshop (Anderson, 2018; Calkins, 2017; Heard, 2013; Ray, 2004)
■ Writing Minilessons■ Guided & Independent Writing/Conferencing■ Share
○ Word Study Workshop (Fountas & Pinnell, 2019; Ganske, 2000/2008; Henderson, 1990; Kaye, 2007; NICHD, 2000; Tempelton & Bear, 1992; Zutell, 1996/2000)
■ Explicit Phonics/Spelling/Word Study■ Application/Conferencing■ Share
○ Ongoing Monitoring of Student Progress (Clay, 1991; Lyons & Moats, 2007; Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998)

AI-55/1/2021
Pillar 3: Utilize Data-Driven Teaching and Decision-Making
Educators use student data to document growth over time, to reflect on the effectiveness of teaching and learning, and to inform decision-making.
Assessment and DataSchools engage in an ongoing process of data collection, analysis, and use. Educators use a variety of data sources to guide teaching, monitor student literacy growth, and inform implementation decisions. Educators meet regularly to review student data and make timely recommendations.
A variety of data sources may include: Student Level Data
○ Classroom observation and assessment
■ Authentic Literacy Assessments may include:● Records of reading accuracy, fluency, self-correction, and comprehension● Documentation of Early Literacy Behaviors● Phonics, Spelling, Word Solving Analysis● Student Writing Analysis
○ District/State Assessments
School/District Level Data
○ School Improvement Plans○ Program Evaluation○ Collaborative Inquiry Cycles○ Action Research
Multi-tiered Systems of SupportSupplemental intervention for some children is essential for them to achieve successful literacy outcomes. Intervention is provided in addition to classroom literacy instruction and includes reading, writing and/or phonics instruction based on the individual needs of students.
The evidence-based (Ohio’s Evidence-Based Clearinghouse, 2020), short-term interventions coherent with the design of Literacy Collaborative are Reading Recovery (1st Grade) and Leveled Literacy Intervention (Grades K-8).
Other short-term and long-term support services should be made available by the school based on individual student need in the form of specialist services as determined by school personnel.
A team of educators meet regularly to review student data and make timely recommendations for appropriate intervention services.
AI-65/1/2021
Pillar 4:Investment in Building Evidence-Based Professional Capacity
Educators engage in a variety of ongoing, job-embedded professional learning opportunities.
Professional LearningLiteracy Collaborative is an evidence-based (Biancarosa, Bryk, & Dexter, 2010) professional learning project where educators value continuous professional learning and commit to being active members of a learning community.
Coaches and literacy leaders play key roles in facilitating the development of literacy expertise in the school.
Responsive, ongoing, job-embedded professional learning is tailored to the needs of the adult learning community and the children they serve.
○ In-depth ongoing literacy training for teachers is designed to develop knowledge of the content that underlies the core instructional contexts that are necessary to develop readers and writers.
○ Educators arrange for and commit to a systematic professional learning plan that includes a predetermined number of days per year.
○ Professional learning days may, for instance, range from 10-40 hours per year, determined by:
■ Student Literacy Needs■ Teacher Literacy Expertise■ School Literacy Vision■ District Literacy Initiatives
○ Professional learning is expanded through a variety of structures to build professional capacity, which may include:
■ Whole staff professional learning sessions■ Grade level professional learning sessions■ Book & Lesson Studies■ Inquiry Studies/Action research ■ Other
Professional learning is expanded through a variety of regularly scheduled coaching structures, which may include:
○ One-to-one coaching○ Cluster coaching○ Peer observation and reflection

Establishing a Centralized School Bookroom
Short, appropriately leveled texts are essential resources for guided reading lessons at all grade levels. Quality guided reading texts will
contain the same complexity as longer texts. Their use avoids staying in a particular level for too long, which could slow down reading progress considerably. Shorter texts also allow for ease of planning for teachers.

Short, appropriately leveled texts are essential resources for guided reading lessons at all grade levels. Quality guided reading texts will
contain the same complexity as longer texts. Their use avoids staying in a particular level for too long, which could slow down reading progress considerably. Shorter texts also allow for ease of planning for teachers.

who are considering having one coach to serve all grades levels at their school. These are optional tools for your own reflection; however, you may
