Implementation and Effects of LDC and MDC in Kentucky Districts
Since adopting new college- and career-ready standards (CCRS), many districts throughout Kentucky have evolved to meet the demands of a more rigorous set of expectations, all of which aim to bolster student success. This brief summarizes the early success of two tools Kentucky districts have used to support the transition: Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) and Mathematics Design Collaborative (MDC).
Districts and charter schools across the country are coming together in partnership, sharing best practices and resources while helping each other problem-solve with the goal of improving outcomes for every child they serve.
What happens when teachers trade isolation for collaboration? Teachers in Colorado and Kentucky wanted to find out so they created the Common Assignment Study (CAS) to show the positive impact of teachers working across district and state lines to better serve students.
