Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is often reduced to a simple letter or level, but true rigor in the classroom goes far beyond labels.
This professional development session helps educators understand how to use DOK as a tool to promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and meaningful learning experiences.
Participants will explore the differences between surface-level tasks and deep, cognitively engaging tasks, and learn strategies for designing lessons and assessments that challenge students appropriately.
Teachers will leave with practical techniques to move students from rote learning to higher-level thinking while aligning instruction to standards and learning goals.
The session is ideal for teachers and instructional leaders who want to make DOK a living, actionable framework in their classrooms rather than just a label on a chart.
