The Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) is a national community of educators providing a teacher-designed and research-proven framework, online tools, and resources for creating literacy-rich opportunities across content areas to help students meet and exceed the demands of the content standards.
Rethinking Literacy:Kenton County, Kentucky Notice and Note. . . What strategies does the teacher from Kenton County use to help students engage with difficult content? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlWgeNXkAFI
The CCRS Emphasize Three Main Shifts • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language • Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text • Building knowledge through content-rich text
Why LDC? “Students who think critically use writing as an important tool both for communicating important ideas and for learning . . . to deepen their understanding of important concepts and to clarify interrelationship between concepts . . . they use writing as an important tool for learning ideas deeply and permanently.” Paul and Elder 2006, 5
Why LDC? “Collaborative learning is one of the critical linchpins through which students access complex text [and content] because it enables them to consolidate their understanding with peers and provide support for one another in the absence of the teacher.” Fisher and Frey, Rigorous Reading, 2013
Why LDC? “Through the social interaction of discussion, students make meaning.Discussion can lead to a richer, deeper understanding of the curriculum and can promote higher-level thinking. It also increases engagement and ownership of ideas and invites participation of all students, regardless of their literacy level.” -D. Spiegel, Classroom Discussion, 2005
Content vs Disciplinary Literacy Disciplinary Literacy • The idea that we should use the specialized ways of reading, writing, and thinking used in each academic discipline. • Privileges reading and writing by professional role (historian, scientist, novelist, teacher, etc.) • Acknowledges different priorities in different disciplines (citation v. dates v. content, etc.) Content Literacy • Content literacy focuses on every teacher being a “teacher of reading” • Content literacy privileges ELA skills/standards/strategies and uses content area texts
LDC in Action • List key words/concepts/noticings about LDC as you view the “Literacy Matters” clip.
Featured LDC Template Task End Learning Goal Were the achievements and growth of the Industrial Revolution Era worth the cost to society? After reading secondary and primary sources pertaining to the British Industrial Revolution, write an argumentation essay that addresses the question and support your position with evidence from the texts. Be sure to acknowledge competing views.
Table Talk How did this teacher use Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening in service of her content?
LDC is NOT Every Assignment • LDC is NOT every assignment. • LDC does not cover every piece of content. • LDC is the kind of assignment for when you think students should write in response to reading. • “reading”(e.g., articles, videos, artworks, timelines, data sets, stories)
LDC Is… a research-proven framework for creating literacy-rich opportunities across content areas to help students meet and exceed the demands of the content standards.
Our overarching question How can I use mini-tasks as formative assessment tools to prepare students for successful learning experiences?
In a quick write (2 minutes), write your initial response to the essential question an index card. Does the National Security Agency infringe upon our rights or protect them?

Support your position with evidence from the text/s. Be sure to acknowledge competing views.
Does the NSA infringe upon our rights or protect them? • Brainstorm: What concepts or words come to mind when you think about this question? • How would you group these words? • How would you connect these groups?
