Welcome CT Educators!

The Connecticut State Department of Education is pleased to provide the Defined Learning and Defined Careers platform at no cost to all public schools in Connecticut. Defined Learning and Defined Careers provide the essential elements that educators need to engage students in real-world Project-Based Learning (PBL). We will be offering Professional Learning throughout the year to support Connecticut educators at all levels.

All K-12 public school teachers in Connecticut have access to these PBL Solutions:

• Defined Learning (K-12): An online library of standards-aligned performance tasks that are searchable by grade, subject, and standard. The Defined Learning platform includes the essential design elements you need to implement high-quality PBL: career-focused videos to set the stage for the project, research resources, editable rubrics, and more! 

• Defined Careers (K-12): Defined Careers is a career exploration and experience system featuring over 500 careers and over 1000 hands-on projects across all career clusters and pathways. Students experience careers by completing standards-aligned performance tasks on careers in their recommended pathways.

How do I access Defined Learning and Defined Careers?

Defined Learning will attempt to contact your district, but we also encourage district leaders to reach out to Defined Learning to schedule an Implementation call. Once your preferred method of logging in is established, teachers will access Defined Learning at https://users.definedlearning.com/signin/teacher, while students will access Defined Learning at https://users.definedlearning.com/signin/student. Defined Learning and Defined Careers works with login providers such as Google, Clever, and Classlink to provide easy access to the content.

Complete this form to get your school or district started on the platform or email Carlie Brandt at carlie_brandt@definedlearning.com.
