CCSS and the Paideia ProjectTraining Objectives

To compare the demands of the CCSS and the Paideia Program

To practice planning a LDC-Paideia Module greater than the sum of its parts.

To deepen your understanding of the complementary relationship between the full range of literacy skills.

Your “Task” for Day One:

After researching the Introduction to the Common Core State Standards on the values and structure of the standards, write an essay that identifies the problems involved in implementation and argues for a [LDC-Paideia] solution. Be sure to examine competing views.

“SMARTER Balanced” Values and Goals


LDC-Paideia ModulesAn LDC “module” is a unit of study that starts with a “template task” that has the CCSS literacy standards hardwired in. Teachers then put in their own subject-area content.

Each LDC-Paideia module stresses the CCSS speaking & listening standards in addition to reading & writing.

Module = Task, Skills, Instruction, Results


P. Projects as Modules Stress the writing process & written

product Build the writing process on the seminar
