Instructional Coaches Training
Defined STEM’s Performance Tasks are built from the UBD (Understanding By Design) framework and presents a real-world problem within the context of a career/industry. The career based videos frame the task, which allows the students to see the task through the career lens. Each Task contains The Big Idea, Essential Questions and learning outcomes which outlines what will align with the learning in the Task.
Teachers present the task using the G.R.A.S.P. model Goal, Role, Audience, Situation and Products. The culminating activities that the students produce are the products that are based on the Goal of the task. Each task contains between 5-8 products that represent cross curricular topics. Teachers have the option to assign any or all of the products based upon content, learning levels and/or multiple intelligences. Through the Defined STEM Task Editor a teacher can edit the task, remove or add products or up-load other pertinent information to the task. Accompanied with each task are rubrics for each type of product. Teachers have the ability to download the rubric, which makes it very simple to edit the rubric to their specifications.
