What are the Kids Doing?

2/18/2021

 
Recently, I came across this version of Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning from The Derek Bok Center for Teaching & Learning at Harvard University. I have always found Bloom's Taxonomy to be a great reminder to balance the instructional and assessment activities offered to students - especially when student engagement is at a low point. Although, as an educator, you have seen Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy many times over...it is now more important than ever before to audit what your students are doing on a daily basis. If you are finding they have spent a good portion of the school year on learning activities that have them remembering and understanding, it might be time to provide students with opportunities to apply what they have learned, create something new, think critically through analyzation, or make judgement calls via examination and evaluation. Interested in learning more about Bloom's Taxonomy - check out this 2020 revision of Bloom's Taxonomy.

    About the Author
    Love all things related to learning. All classroom content is being 'played out'  - in real life - every day in our communities. How might we harness that reality? This year...2022...sharing snippets from my journal entries over the past 5 years, as well as projects I am working on now.
