Be a Better Literacy Coordinator by Roger Hurn

Be a Better Literacy Coordinator by Roger Hurn

"Be a Better Literacy Coordinator" takes as its guiding principle the idea that children's minds are fires to be lit not buckets to be filled. It stresses that the first duty of any literacy coordinator worth their salt is to bring literacy alive by inspiring a love of books and stories in the children. The book is divided up into seven sections: What does an effective literacy coordinator do?; Working with pupils; Keeping on top of your subject; Achieving targets and strategy goals; Your teaching room; Working with colleagues and parents/carers; and Looking after yourself. These cover all aspects of the role of the literacy coordinator and explain clearly and concisely how to cope with the demands of the job in a time efficient and effective way.

Roger Hurn has been a teacher, a teacher trainer and a head teacher. He also has worked as an education consultant both in the UK and in Africa. Roger is a writer and editor and is the author of a wide range of educational CD-Roms for children. He spends much of his time travelling the country visiting schools and libraries to tell stories and to deliver writer's workshops.
