What To DO NEXT with Depth Of Knowledge (DOK)?

OK...we have had multiple PD sessions about DOK...they have all been worth it

I recently read an article from 2014 on the edutopia site.  That is a great website with multiple resources.  You can type a topic in and you will get a lot of resources.

Click here to read a short article about possible next steps with DOK.  If you don't want to take the time (it will be minutes) to read the article only focus on the section labeled 1-5.  Those are five possible ideas on how you can start using the information that you have about Depth Of Knowledge.

Using the information you have about DOK, will help out with assessment literacy.

Questions To Consider:

1.  Did you ever want to just see a list of tasks that are specific to your content area and where they would fall in the DOK spectrum?  The article has a great resource for that.  It will give you an idea of where some of your tasks may fall and ideas about new ones.  it is labeled "These examples of DoK levels for four content areas "  
Or you can click here to see that resource.

2.  One of the tasks suggest analyzing patterns of where you place tasks you have students do on the DOK spectrum.  Is there a way to do this on a micro level, don't make it too overwhelming...How could that benefit you?

3.  This article has some great possible activities for upcoming TBT meetings.


By The Way (BTW)-  Our little local PD blog done weekly will, this week, surpass 1000 views since its inception.  I appreciate you taking a look.
