PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (recommended by Jay McTighe)

Defined STEM has developed 100+ performance tasks/projects and associated rubrics based on various career areas.

The tasks use the GRASPS format from Understanding by Design to establish an authentic scenario. A unique feature is

the inclusion of a motivating video that shows “real world” applications of knowledge to set up the task.

In addition to the basic tasks, Defined STEM offers a set of electronic design tools allow teachers to customize the tasks

and rubrics. While the title suggests that the tasks fall into the STEM arena, there are tasks in English/Language Arts and

History/Social Studies as well.
