Webb's Depth of Knolwedge

Hello,

Today, we had another excellent meeting of the system-wide Curriculum & Instruction Committee (Chaired by Sherrod McNeill).  The committee has been working on becoming more expert in the Common Core State Standards and their many implications on our work.  Today, Sherrod led us through an activity that helped us gain a better understanding of Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK).  This can best be thought of as an alternative to Bloom's Taxonomy.  This is key learning for all teachers in our school system as the CCSS are correlated with the DOK rather than Bloom's.  We saw a short, explanatory video that I strongly recommend to you.
