support them to reach their goals. A Facing History Teacher Leader or Staff member will be contacting you to offer follow-up to support you in implementing a Literacy Strategy.

- Confirming Implementation:As part of their follow up, the FH Teacher Leader or Staff member will be asking

if you have used any of the Literacy Strategies we have modeled for you or resources we have shared.

- June 2017 Project 3rd Party Evaluation: A 3rd Party will be administering an evaluation of this project in June of 2017.

They are asking for a high return rate and we GREATLY appreciate you completing the survey. We feel we all have an important contribution to make to the field about the importance of the work of FH Teachers, Teacher Leaders and Literacy Strategies.
