Principals of Literacy
Principals of Literacy is a podcast for Texas elementary school principals who want to lead stronger reading instruction and see real results for students.
Each episode focuses on what principals need to know and do to improve literacy outcomes: understanding the science of reading, knowing what to look for in classrooms, supporting teachers without micromanaging, and building systems that actually work for all students including emergent bilinguals and students with learning disabilities.
Hosted with a clear eye on Texas expectations and realities, the podcast features conversations with experienced principals, literacy researchers, and education leaders who translate research into practical leadership moves.
If you’re an elementary principal who wants to move beyond compliance and become a confident, effective instructional leader in reading, this podcast is for you.
