Hello from New Hampshire!
In November 2018, three dozen teachers from over 10 districts gathered at Souhegan High School in Amherst, NH to start the process of creating new social studies performance tasks that they would implement and assess in classrooms during the 2018-2019 school year. Not only would they design performance tasks to address key content knowledge, they would also create tasks designed to support instruction in self-direction (a key success skill / work study practice / deeper learning competency). Reaching students in grades 6, 9 and 12, these educators brought immense energy to the New Hampshire Learning Initiative event.
