Perhaps a guide to developing curriculum as a team using state standards or other outcomes agreed upon by the team. Strong emphasis on how to integrate across the components would also be important. Perhaps a "Family Literacy Practitioners Idea Book" - a compendium of current experienced pracitioners' favorites that have worked throughout the field, making use of the wealth of expertise "out there".
