"Authentic performance tasks give us evidence of students’ understanding and ability to apply their learnings, and they are a key element in the Understanding by Design® framework.

 

Authentic performance tasks and projects can engage students in meaningful learning while also providing assessment evidence of important learning outcomes, including 21st-century skills."

Jay McTighe is a veteran educator, having served as a teacher, resource specialist, program coordinator, director of a state program for gifted students, and administrator for innovative programs at the Maryland Department of Education.

He is an accomplished author, having co-authored 18 books, including the award-winning and best-selling Understanding by Design series with Grant Wiggins. His books have been translated into fourteen languages.
