Defined Learning
Educators are under more pressure than ever to meet district standards and boost test scores, while still giving each student personalized attention and preparing them for life after K-12. That’s a lot to balance, especially across home, school, and virtual environments. Defined Learning supports educators, students, and administrators through this challenge with easy-to-implement project based learning.

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.- Jay McTighe
The Practical can be Inspiring
When students can see the real-world impact of their lessons, it inspires them to seek out knowledge and follow their interests. Education should be a springboard for the future, not an obstacle to overcome. Working together, we can encourage the next generation to rediscover their love of learning.
