The collection of performance tasks developed by Defined Learning supports the UbD framework for curriculum, instruction and assessment. Through the utilization of ‘real world’ performance tasks and related resources, teachers engage their students in meaningful learning and authentic assessment – and that is the best preparation for the world outside of school.

Defined Learning offers us the ability to infuse real-life project-based learning in the form of highly engaging and customizable cross-curricular projects to reach every child. Students are excited to work with a real-world application of the content and standards for every subject area through the lens of a career, product, business idea, or professional. Teachers are in awe of the work ethic, engagement, understanding, and connections students are making to content and to the 21st Century Skills needed to succeed in the world today.
