The document outlines Jennifer Groff's framework for designing games for learning. It includes three sections: I) identifying the important concepts or standards for students to learn, II) how instruction will be delivered through game dynamics, and III) instruments and procedures to assess student learning. Other diagrams show how learning goals are connected to pedagogy, evidence, and claims. Standards are mapped across grades 1-12. The framework is intended to help design games that accurately measure student learning through embedded assessments.

I. The Learning II. The Instruction III. The Assessment
What is important for students to learn? How will the instruction be delivered? What are the instruments and procedures
that provide accurate information about
how well students are learning?
Identify the Construct Define the Claims Connect the Game Dynamics Evidence Tasks
