LDC is a non-profit collaborative of 50,000+ teachers and educators dedicated to integrating effective literacy instruction into their classrooms, content areas, and schools. LDC works at three levels. First, it supports teachers in improving the quality of instruction and in developing key teacher skills and competencies. Second, LDC augments existing approaches at the curriculum or practice level. Finally, it works at the system level to drive alignment across curriculum, assessment, and practice. Schools and districts using LDC to strengthen their existing curriculum are seeing significant growth in student literacy achievement and engagement.
By going through the planning process and working with our Generation Ready consultant, my ELA teachers are using and adapting tasks to best fit their students’ needs. This has resulted in a giant leap in the quality of work that my students are expected to do! ”
