Abstract

This chapter speaks to the way educational leaders, specifically site principals, can support and guide teachers to implement critical literacy strategies into their classrooms. While literacy specifically relates to texts, it can also be identified as discourse as well. However, finding ways for administrators to encourage teachers to allow students the opportunity to develop the ability to express their critical analysis through conversations and presentations as well as through writing can be a challenge. Nonetheless, preparing students for critical literacy and critical discourse is an essential skill in the 21st century and beyond.
