* 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. Authors Jay McTighe, Kristina J. Doubet, and Eric M. Carbaugh provide examples and resources across all grade levels and subject areas.
