“We’re excited about the new content, insight, and support the LDC team will bring to our English Language Arts teachers and students.”

LDC began as a community of educators determined to eliminate achievement gaps by providing all students with rigorous and authentic literacy experiences in K-12 classrooms. Today, LDC’s Real Works curriculum invites students to do the real-world reading, writing, speaking, and listening of literary critics, scientists, and historians. In addition, LDC’s professional learning support for teachers and administrators is setting the new standard for blended education by focusing on academic rigor, targeted instruction, and guaranteed equity. In 2019, LDC was the winner of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement and today, students who complete LDC Real Works assignments gain more than 9 months of additional learning (when compared to match-pair peers) in one school year.1

LDC and Carnegie Learning share the belief that with the right support, all students can achieve deeper learning and better outcomes. Both organizations are focused on providing rigorous, high quality instructional materials that are proven effective by research to help teachers create the best possible learning experiences for their students.
