Presenter: Jill Stine brings over 16 years of experience as an Educator and Consultant in the field of Education. Working in the public school system, Stine served as a Title I Reading teacher. For the past 11 years, she has been creating and delivering research-based professional development with the purpose of improving teaching and learning.

Understanding Depth of Knowledge (DOK) through Assessment Tasks

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a key determinant of rigor-level in next generation assessment design. DOK should be considered as an investigative lens into learning standards as educators consider how to create classroom assessment tasks.

Jill Stine of the Common Core Institute has designed this day-long practicum to help educators work through a progression of DOK understanding, explore task complexity, analyze assessment tasks and learn how to increase rigor within their own assessments and performance tasks. Participants who bring samples of their current assessment tasks will be able to identify current DOK levels and modify the tasks to reach key DOK levels for their content area(s). All participants will leave with a complete DOK Flip Chart provided by Common Core Institute/Center for College and Career Readiness.

Learning Targets1. Learn the suggested “recipe” for creating a comprehensive, complex task

aligned to a unit/module of learning.2. Learn Depth of Knowledge concepts via:

• Karin Hess DOK resources.• Assessment Exemplars to determine DOK 2 or DOK 3 levels.

3. Use the DOK Flip Chart to model analysis of existing assessment items.4. Practicum - Teachers are asked to bring a current performance task or

assessment item(s). Participants will identify DOK levels of their current assessment tasks and modify the tasks to reach key DOK levels for their content area(s).

Targeted AudienceGeneral and Special Education Teachers (grades 3-12), Instructional Coaches and Curriculum Coordinators. While the focus will be core-aligned content areas, all educators who design assessments will find value in understanding rigor, task complexity and depth of knowledge.

CostCost: $149 members, $179 nonmembers

Ashland Graduate Credit option available for $249 if combined with a Math or ELA workshop.
