  4. Leadership Strategies • Principals must identify a type of literacy program best suited for their school. • They must know how to implement the program. This program should be included in the school improvement plan. • They must know how to assess the program (old and new) to constantly check to see if it is working. • There are different types of reading programs for the elementary and secondary level (look at the module if you want to know what they are!!!).
