Are your learning goals challenging your students sufficiently, and how can you ensure your success criteria accurately reflect the depth of understanding required for mastery? Establishing clear learning targets and success criteria and aligning assessments using Depth of Knowledge (DOK) allows students to engage more deeply with the content and demonstrate higher-order thinking skills. Join Lauren Boucher for this hands-on, interactive workshop as you discover how to set clear learning goals and success criteria with the DOK framework to enhance content mastery and deepen understanding. You will also learn how to align assessments with DOK levels and employ strategic questioning techniques to elevate students' critical thinking skills. Get ready to elevate your teaching and inspire your students to reach new levels of mastery with DOK! Lauren’s expertise in instructional strategies will empower you with the tools and resources to create DOK-based learning activities and assessments that push students beyond surface-level understanding.
This is workshop two of four for the series titled “Cracking the Learning Code with Depth of Knowledge.”
