Aimed at the growing number of educators who are looking to move beyond covering the curriculum, Designing Authentic Performance Tasks and Projects provides a comprehensive guide to ensuring students' deeper learning—in which they can transfer their knowledge, skills, and understandings to the world beyond the classroom. Readers will learn how to
* Create authentic tasks and projects to address both academic standards and 21st century skills.
* Apply task frames to design performance tasks that allow voice and choice for students.
* Design and use criterion-based evaluation tools and rubrics for assessment, including those for students to use in self-assessment and peer assessment.
* Incorporate performance-based instructional strategies needed to prepare students for authentic performance.
* Differentiate tasks and projects for all students, including those needing additional support or challenge.
* Effectively manage the logistics of a performance-based classroom.
* Use project management approaches to facilitate successful implementation of tasks and projects.
* Develop performance-based curriculum at the program, school, and district levels.
