This document describes tools to help teachers implement new literacy practices in the classroom. It includes a principal's tool called a classroom visit guide to provide feedback during teacher observations. Teacher tools include a mini-action planner to develop implementation plans, a classroom reflection guide, and automated email messages. The document then provides an example of a teacher navigating the system to create a mini-action plan after a professional development event, selecting goals from a post-event survey and outlining action steps and coaching requests.
