WIDS: Founded on the Principles of
Performance-Based Learning
An approach to teaching and
learning which requires
advance description of
knowledge, skills, and
attitudes learners must
achieve on exit from a course
or program.
Essential Features of Performance-Based
Learning




Competencies are identified, verified,
and made public in advance of
instruction
Performance is required
Performance standards are explicitly
stated and made public in advance
of assessment
Learning activities and teaching
strategies provide opportunities for
learners to develop the competencies
WTCS WIDS model helps educators answer the following
questions:
Who?
What?
When?
How?

If we want students to
“begin with the end in
mind,” we need to inform
them about the target
outcomes up front!
The Process
 Identify learners’ goals and
performance needs
 Determine intended results
 Connect teaching and learning to
the intended results
 Implement targeted performance
assessment
 Assess and continually improve
