Curriculum Management Guide to Literacy

2005-08-02T09:05:54Z

This document is designed to be used as a tool by literacy co-ordinators in order to help them to effectively fulfil their leadership role of the subject. It will support colleagues to give a clear view of standards in the subject and areas for school development.

It has been produced by Gateshead's Primary Literacy Team, mainly in response to the question frequently asked by co-ordinators, 'What should be in my co-ordinator's file?'
