Abstract	This article argues for adolescent literacy specialists to take a stand against current trends for improving adolescent literacy with simplistic solutions such as high-stakes assessments coupled with teacher bonuses for improved test scores. Professionals need to create their own visions about ways to improve adolescent literacy--and make their visions public. The author provides an example by identifying and explaining four overlapping ideas essential to development of readers, writers, and learners in secondary schools: (1) Classroom communities and relationships; (2) Direct strategy instruction and teacher modeling; (3) Internalizing principles and philosophy of learning; and (4) Professional expertise. Educators must take a stronger advocacy role to ensure that adolescents become successful readers, writers, and learners. (Contains 1 table.) (Author).
