Tie That Knot
Can you tie a knot in a string without letting go of the string? Hand someone the ends of a string as in the picture, and challenge her to tie a knot in the string without letting go of the string.
4
Tie That Knot
Here's the secret! Fold your arms, and then grab one end of the string in each hand
5
Tie That Knot
Slowly unfold your arms. You tied a knot without letting go of the string!

Bloom’s TaxonomyWebb’s Depth of Knowledge - DOK
K.W.L
8
Bloom’s Taxonomy
9
Since Bloom’s early work, many others have used various schemas to describe cognitive demand in different learning and assessment contexts.
10
Cognitive Demand…
“The kind and level of thinking required of students in order to successfully engage with and solve the task.”
Stein, Smith, Henningsen, & Silver, (2000)
11
The cognitive demand is determined on the basis of what the item asks of the student in reasoning, evaluating procedures, understanding concepts or analyzing problems.
Ways in which students interact with content
Cognitive Demand…
12
13
Why Depth of Knowledge (DOK)?Mechanism to ensure that the intent of the standard and the level of student demonstration required by that standard matches the assessment items
To ensure that teachers are teaching to a level that will promote student achievement
14
The Depth of Knowledge classification scheme classifies assessment items or tasks, not students or student work.
This classification scheme was developed originally for assessment items.
Depth of Knowledge (DOK)
15
The intention for use was to align learning objectives with assessments.
The Depth of Knowledge levels were developed by Norman L. Webb at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the National Institute for Science Education.
Depth of Knowledge (DOK)
16
• Level 1: Recall and Reproduction
• Level 2: Skills & Concepts• Level 3: Strategic Thinking• Level 4: Extended Thinking
Webb’s Four (DOK) Levels of Cognitive Complexity
17
DOK is NOT...•a taxonomy (Bloom’s)•the same as difficulty•about using “verbs”(see handout – Blooms Taxonomy verbs)
18
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY BLOOM’S REVISED TAXONOMY
KNOWLEDGE “The recall of specifics and universals, involving little more than bringing to mind the appropriate material”
REMEMBER Retrieving relevant knowledge from long-term memory (e.g., recognizing, recalling)
COMPREHENSION“Ability to process knowledge on alow level such that the knowledgecan be reproduced or communicatedwithout a verbatim repetition.”
UNDERSTANDDetermining the meaning of instructional messages, including oral, written, and graphic communication (e.g., interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, explaining)
APPLICATION“The use of abstractions inconcrete situations.”
APPLYINGCarrying out or using a procedure in a given situation (e.g., executing, implementing)
ANALYSIS“The breakdown of a situation intoits component parts.”
ANALYZINGBreaking material into its constituent parts and detecting how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure on purpose (e.g., differentiating, organizing, attributing)
SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION“Putting together elements & partsto form a whole, then making valuejudgments about the method.”
EVALUATEMaking judgments based on criteria and standards (e.g., checking, critiquing)
CREATINGPutting elements together to form a novel, coherent whole or make an original product (e.g., generating, planning, producing)
19
BLOOM’S REVISED TAXONOMY WEBB’S DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE
REMEMBER Retrieving relevant knowledge from long-term memory (e.g., recognizing, recalling)
Recall – Recall of a fact, information, or procedure (e.g., What are the Red Cross Emergency Action steps [check, call, care]?)UNDERSTAND
Determining the meaning of instructional messages, including oral, written, and graphic communication (e.g., interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, explaining)
APPLYINGCarrying out or using a procedure in a given situation (e.g., executing, implementing)
Basic Application of Skill/Concept – Use of information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps, etc.
(e.g., Given a emergency scenario, students determine the care needed for a victim, and explain the reason for their actions).
ANALYZINGBreaking material into its constituent parts and detecting how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure on purpose (e.g., differentiating, organizing, attributing)
Strategic Thinking – Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps; has some complexity; more than one
possible answer; generally takes less than 10 minutes to do (e.g., Module 363 –ER – Stressed due to parents’ divorce;
Crunched for time; Signs of stress – ways to relieve stress – why managing stress is important to health.)EVALUATE
Making judgments based on criteria and standards (e.g., checking, critiquing)
CREATINGPutting elements together to form a novel, coherent whole or make an original product (e.g., generating, planning, producing)
Extended Thinking – Requires an investigation; time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; and more than 10 minutes to do non-routine manipulations (e.g.,
Task 608 – Welcome to Health High – Create fact sheet/brochure from research activity)

It’s NOT about the verb...
The Depth of Knowledge is NOT determined by the verb (see Bloom’s Taxonomy handout), but by the context in which the verb is used and the depth of thinking required .
21
DOK is about what follows the verb...
What comes after the verb is more important than the verb itself.
22
Same Verb—Three Different DOK Levels
DOK 1- Describe three characteristics of metamorphic rocks. (Requires simple recall)
DOK 2- Describe the difference between metamorphic and igneous rocks. (Requires cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock types)
DOK 3- Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist within the rock cycle. (Requires deep understanding of rock cycle and a determination of how best to represent it)
23
DOK is about intended outcome, not difficulty
DOK is a reference to the complexity of mental processing that must occur to answer a question, perform a task, or generate a product.
24
DOK is not about difficulty...
• Difficulty is a reference to how many students answer a question correctly.
“How many of you know the definition of environment?” DOK 1 – recall If all of you know the definition, this question is an easy question.
“How many of you know the definition of inertia?” DOK 1 – recall If most of you do not know the definition, this question is a difficult question.
25
Quick Quiz
1 )Give an example of a statement that uses a verb that “sounds” like a high DOK but is
used inappropriately .
2 )Fill in the blanks: What _____ the verb is more _____ than the verb itself when deciding the DOK level.
3 )What is the difference between difficulty and complexity?
4 )What really determines the DOK level?
26
Quick Quiz Answers
1 )Give an example of a statement that uses a verb that “sounds” like a high DOK but is used inappropriately. answers vary
2 )Fill in the blanks: What follows the verb is more important than the verb itself when deciding the DOK level.
3 )What is the difference between difficulty and complexity? answers vary, but do not rely on the verb
4 )What really determines the DOK level? the intended learning outcomes
27
What is Depth of Knowledge (DOK)?
•A scale of cognitive demand (thinking) to align standards with assessments
•Based on the research of Norman Webb, University of Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the National Institute for Science Education
•Guides item development for assessments
28
• Level 1: Recall and Reproduction
• Level 2: Skills & Concepts• Level 3: Strategic Thinking• Level 4: Extended Thinking
Webb’s Four (DOK) Levels of Cognitive Complexity
29
• Requires recall of information, such as a fact, definition, term, or performance of a simple process or procedure
• Answering a Level 1 item can involve following a simple, well-known procedure or formula
DOK Level 1: Recall and Reproduction
30
Recall and Reproduction DOK Level 1Examples:
• List animals that survive by eating other animals• Locate or recall facts found in text• Describe physical features of places• Determine the perimeter or area of rectangles given a drawing or labels• Identify basic rules for participating in simple games and activities
31
Skills/Concepts: DOK Level 2
• Includes the engagement of some mental processing beyond recalling or reproducing a response
• Items require students to make some decisions as to how to approach the question or problem
• Actions imply more than one mental or cognitive process/step
32
Skills/Concepts: DOK 2 Examples• Compare desert and tropical environments
• Identify and summarize the major events, problems, solutions, conflicts in literary text• Explain the cause-effect of historical events• Predict a logical outcome based on information in a reading selection• Explain how good work habits are important at home, school, and on the job• Classify plane and three dimensional figures• Describe various styles of music
33
Strategic Thinking: Level 3• Requires deep understanding exhibited
through planning, using evidence, and more demanding cognitive reasoning
• The cognitive demands are complex and abstract
• An assessment item that has more than one possible answer and requires students to justify the response would most likely be a Level 3
34
DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking Examples:
• Compare consumer actions and analyze how these actions impact the environment.
• Solve a multiple-step problem and provide support with a mathematical explanation that justifies the answer.• Develop a scientific model for a complex idea.
35
Extended Thinking: Level 4
• Requires high cognitive demand and is very complex
• Students are expected to make connections, relate ideas within the content or among content areas, and select or devise one approach among many alternatives on how the situation can be solved
• Due to the complexity of cognitive demand, DOK 4 often requires an extended period of time
36
Extended Thinking: DOK 4 Examples
• Gather, analyze, organize, and interpret information from multiple (print and non print) sources to draft a reasoned report.
• set up and conduct an investigation, collect, organize, and analyze the data, and formulate a conclusion (The Better Picker Upper including selecting the question!)• Create a solution to a problem from the real world
37
To test your understanding of the DOK levels and classroom activities, complete the following exercise:
1. Use the dot pointed statements on the 2 pages.2. Cut up the 2 pages so that all statements are
separated.3. The statements relate to 2 different units of work.
Sort all the statements into these 2 different units and give them a unit title eg. Food Chains and Food Webs.
4. Now arrange each group of statements into the 4 Levels of DOK and glue them onto an A3 sheet under their unit headings.
5. Check your answers against the Master Copy.

Extending the length of an activity alone does not
necessarily create rigor”!

43
Key Points • DOK 1 + DOK 1 + DOK 1 = 1 (not 3)• Depths of knowledge classification is based on the task, not the student• DOK is different from task/item difficulty• DOK ratings aid in alignment of standards and assessment, and therefore instruction.
44
Teaching with DOK
Derive the objectives from the standards.
Assessments are designed so that the test items match the DOK levels of the objectives.
Instruction needs to be designed at the same level as the DOK specified by the objective.
Teachers need to examine each objective to ensure that they are teaching at the appropriate
DOK level.
45
DOK levels can be cumulativeAn objective written to DOK 3 often contains DOK 1 and DOK 2 level demands.See Slide 41 and add the words “EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER”.
46
Why DOK is important?
Teachers at all grade levels need to understand all DOK levels.
Instruction, assignments, and classroom assessment must incorporate the expectation for students associated with the DOK levels of all objectives for that grade and content area.
47
DOK in your Classroom
Start with the objectives Create assessments using DOK Design instruction based on DOK Assess at regular intervals Use assessment results to focus instruction and to make interventions
48
DOK in your Classroom
Add one or two high level questions on class assignments and homework
Do a Level 3 or 4 activity each week or each unit.
49
Test Taking Strategies Emphasize reading the question/prompt
thoroughly.
Underline key words, numbers, and phrases that may be important when solving the problem or answering the question.
If the question has multiple steps, break it down and do one step at a time.
50
A. Focus is on specific facts, definitions ,details, or using routine procedures
(measure, divide, follow recipe, etc.) B. Explaining “that…” C. Can be “difficult”
without requiring “deep” content knowledge to respond to item (memorize
a complex theory without being able to explain its meaning or apply it to a real
work situation)
D. Combination of level ones does NOT = level 2 .
E. One right answer
A. Focus is on applying skills and concepts (in a familiar/typical
situation), relationships (compare, cause-effect), main
ideas. B. Requires deeper knowledge than definition
C. Explaining how or why D. Making decisions E. Estimating, interpreting in order to respond
F. One right answer
A. Focus is on reasoning & planning in order to respond (e.g., write an essay, apply in new/novel situation). B.Complex and abstract thinking is required. C. Often need
to provide support for reasoning or conclusions drawn. D. More than one “correct” response or
approach is often possible.
A. Requires complex reasoning, planning, and thinking (generally over
extended periods of time) for the investigation. B.
Assessment activities have multiple steps with extended
time provided. C. Students may be asked to relate
concepts within the content area and among other content
areas. D.Students make real-world applications in new
situations.
51
Remember DOK is...
…descriptive…focuses on how deeply a
student has to know the content in order to respond
…NOT the same as difficulty.
…NOT the same as Bloom’s Taxonomy
