19 Minutes as a Literacy Coach

In 19 minutes, I can...
...find a bang-up lesson online to help ease a teacher's planning frustration.
...complete a purchase order for new books that will change a teacher's pedagogy forever
...plan a study group agenda
...teach a reading strategy
...stop a breakdown
...read a new professional book chapter
...organize a read-aloud with a follow-up activity that will seal the learning
...box up a class set for delivery to a new teacher
...write a blog
...lay the groundwork for critical literacy in our curriculum
...reignite the passion in a weary, overworked veteran
...thank a teacher for a job well-done
...get an entire student body fired up about books
...booktalk four books that will be checked out for two months straight

In 19 minutes, I can start the revolution!
