Mission

SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT EVERY STUDENT IN AMERICA GRADUATES FROM (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE LITERACY SKILLS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS IN COLLEGE AND CAREER. LDC IS A TEACHER-CREATED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN SYSTEM THAT TRANSFORMS EDUCATOR PRACTICE THROUGH THE USE OF ONLINE TOOLS AND RESOURCES THAT FACILITATE COLLABORATION, CONTENT DEVELOPMENT, AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS STANDARDS ("CCRS") IN K-12 CLASSROOMS. LDC WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STATES, DISTRICTS, TEACHER TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, AND INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS, TO ENABLE ALL EDUCATORS TO MODEL, LEAD, AND SUCCEED IN IMPLEMENTING THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS EMBODIED BY THE CCRS AS THEY ACCELERATE THEIR OWN PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AND INCREASE STUDENT OUTCOMES.
