Sue Szachowicz, Principal, Brockton High School, Brockton, MA Infusing Literacy Across the Curriculum — A Key to Increasing Student Achievement Sue Szachowicz offers specific strategies for implementing a literacy initiative that helped transform an underperforming high school into a national model. By developing a literacy initiative that integrates specific literacy skills into every content area, training teachers how to teach these skills, and monitoring the lessons through student work, the school community can unite around a common goal — success for all students in the classroom, on state and national assessments, and in preparation for careers.
