For every 8 who make it to college … 3 will never finish.
But what happens after graduation?

The Performance Tasks are Designed to address
complexity, in 2 ways
1. The Formative Tasks
![Page 17: Preparing Students for College: The Essential Role of Performance Tasks](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/546c04b6af7959d0018b5967/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tasks are modular, intentionally repetitive,
and adaptable.
![Page 18: Preparing Students for College: The Essential Role of Performance Tasks](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/546c04b6af7959d0018b5967/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Each Formative Task supports teachers with strategically
selected activities to support a skills-oriented approach to the
tasks.

If they will write 90-100 pages in the freshman
year of college, what do they need to write in the freshman year of HS?
![Page 23: Preparing Students for College: The Essential Role of Performance Tasks](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/546c04b6af7959d0018b5967/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If they will read 5000 pages in the freshman year of college,
how many pages will they need to read in 9th grade?

If they will perform 72 times as freshman in college, how many times should they
perform as freshman in high school?

Who should introduce students to these
performances? When? How? Who should follow
up on providing opportunities to practice?
