An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative
A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms
![Page 2: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Literacy Design Collaborative
An expanding set of classroom, district, state and service providers with the will to meet the challenge of expecting high levels
of secondary literacy, head-on.
![Page 3: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Collaborative
KY pilot districts: Kenton, Jessamine, Daviess, Boone, and Fayette
Pioneering state-wide efforts: KY – with GA, CO, LA, and PA!
National partners such as the National Writing Project, New Visions for Public Schools, Center for Teacher Quality and others.

Outcomes
After this introduction, you should be ready to:Identify the Literacy Design Collaborative’s work as a strategy for achieving the Common Core State Standards and equipping students with the necessary reading and writing skills to be successful in post-secondary education and careers.Generally describe the main components of the LDC frameworkIdentify the ways in which LDC draws on the expertise and collaboration of participating educators.

Common Core State Standards
Are a blueprint.
![Page 6: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
They Set Clear Goals
The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.

They Define Literacy in Content Areas
While the English language arts classroom has often been seen as the proper site for literacy instruction, this document acknowledges that the responsibility for teaching such skills must also extend to other content areas.

They Create New Challenges
Unlike mathematics, secondary literacy is not a discipline. It is “homeless” in that it
belongs to everyone and no one. Literacy is used in secondary classrooms, but it is not
taught in a systematic way.
![Page 9: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And They Offer Great Opportunity!
With the Common Core of Standards, many things now become possible. Because states will be working from the same core, we can create broad-based sharing of what works but, at the same time, provide local flexibility to decide how best to teach the core.
– Vicki Phillips & Carina Wong (PDK, February 2010)

But We Need to Move …
From blueprint to action!

LDC Offers a Different Choice!
So teachers don’t have to ‘move from blueprint to action’ alone.
![Page 15: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The LDC Framework
Common standards, local choices!
![Page 16: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tasks
The tasks students engage in are at the center!
![Page 17: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Template Tasks
Template tasks are the beginning point for the LDC strategy. An LDC template task is a fill-in-the-blank assignment or assessment based on the common core literacy standards.
![Page 18: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Template Tasks
‘The real accountability system is in the tasks that students are asked to do.’
Why the emphasis on tasks?
“What was different in the four classrooms was what students were actually being asked to do, and the degree to which the teacher was able to engage students in the work by scaffolding their learning up to the complexity of the task she was asking them to do.”
– Richard Elmore
![Page 19: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Template Task: An Example
After researching ______(informational texts) on _________(content), write __________ (essay or substitute) that argues your position on____________ (content). Support your position with evidence from your research. L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate, clarify, and support your position.
![Page 20: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Template Tasks
All LDC tasks require students to: Read, analyze, and comprehend texts as specified by
the common core
Write products as specified by the common core (focusing on argumentation, informational/explanatory, and narrative)
Apply common core literacy standards to content (ELA, social studies, and/or science)
The tasks are designed to ensure that students receive literacy and content instruction in rigorous academic reading and writing tasks that prepare them for success in college by the end of their high school career.
![Page 21: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Template Tasks
Teachers use the template tasks to design their own teaching, starting by selecting:
content standards to address (for example, state science, history, or English standards for the class they are teaching)
texts students will read (or which issues students will research)
the issue students will address in their writing
![Page 22: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Template Tasks
Teachers use additional “plug and play” flexibility within the template to adjust:
Task level: Select level 1, 2, or 3 task
Reading requirements: Vary text complexity, genre, length, familiarity, etc.
Writing demands: Vary product, length, etc.
Pacing requirements: Vary workload and time allowed to complete
![Page 23: An Introduction to the Literacy Design Collaborative A framework to move from Common Core to classrooms.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c775503460f9492caa8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Here’s How it Plays Out…
After researching academic articles on censorship, write an editorial that argues your position on the use of filters by schools. Support your position with evidence from your research. L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate and clarify your position.
After researching technical and academic articles on the use of pesticides in agriculture, write a speech that argues your position on its use in managing crop production. Support your position with evidence from your research. L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate and clarify your position.

Modules
Support a system for literacy instruction.
Module templates support practitioners in developing instruction to use over about 2-4 weeks. They support teachers in designing instruction – their choice – focused on guiding students in completing a single literacy task linked to content.

Modules
Modules are designed for teachers to share:
With teachers in other schools, districts, and states
Everywhere common core standards are being used
LDC is developing systems for:
Jurying work submitted by participating teachers to identify great modules
Sharing those great modules electronically across the country
