Sample Multidisciplinary Performance Tasks and Accompanying Guide - Throughout this past fall, a group of Kansas educators who are experts in writing instruction worked to develop sample Multidisciplinary Performance Tasks for use by Kansas educators. The samples provided below are intended for use by Kansas educators wishing to gain greater insight into what students will experience during the MDPT. They may be used with students, or used as examples for educators to create similar performance tasks for students using existing course curriculum. When get to webpage scroll down until you see the guide and the samples.
We recommend first accessing the "MDPT Sample GUIDE", which will explain how the samples are organized, and possibly answer questions you may have about them. As additional samples become available, they will be posted below
