Abstract
We have presented an overview of the QR STEM project so STEM professional development leaders and teachers reading this have a sense of the big picture, including our goals, methods, and expected outcomes. We now turn to providing a detailed discussion of leading teachers in developing a performance task within the context of energy and environment using the Understanding by Design assessment framework (Wiggins and McTighe, 2005).
