Performance Outcomes

Asia Society has developed a series of tools to clarify global competency goals, and help students and teachers document the contribution toward achieving those goals. For each subject area and for global leadership, they provide a rationale and series of tools to show what students need to know and be able to do.

The “I Can Statements” are aimed at students, describing in first-person voice what the student will be able to do in the benchmarked 5th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade years.

A rubric lists specific evidence students demonstrate as they progress towards global competency. This is a tool for students and teachers alike. Download these tools for free.
