Description
Are you looking to deepen your understanding of how students process and engage with content? Applying Depth of Knowledge (DOK) in the classroom allows teachers to scaffold learning effectively, ensuring that students are not only absorbing information but are also able to analyze, evaluate, and create based on their understanding. Join Lauren Boucher for this hands-on, interactive workshop where she will demystify Depth of Knowledge, clarifying its various levels and addressing common misconceptions. You will also discover why DOK is crucial for effective student learning and how it can revolutionize your instruction. Prepare to transform your teaching approach and empower your students to achieve new heights with DOK! Lauren's expertise in instructional strategies will provide you with the tools and resources needed to implement DOK-based approaches in the classroom that will guide students from basic recall to applying knowledge in new and challenging contexts.
Objectives
Identify the four levels of Depth of Knowledge. Explain how each DOK level applies to diverse types of student tasks. Implement lesson plans that incorporate multiple DOK levels to enhance student learning. Compare and contrast student tasks that align with different DOK levels. Assess the effectiveness of lessons designed with DOK in mind, adjusting as needed. Design an original lesson plan that integrates all four DOK levels to challenge students at various points in the learning process.
