This document summarizes a presentation about using performance assessment shells and global issues overviews to maximize student learning. The presentation introduces tools to help teachers incorporate globally significant issues into their curriculum through two sets of materials: global issues overviews provide overviews of issues with task ideas and resources, while performance assessment shells provide modular frameworks and guidance for specific assessments. The presentation demonstrates how teachers can select materials to design assessments that develop students' global competence through authentic, globally significant work.
