Student

Interaction

with Success

Criteria

Ensuring students interact with Success Criteria:

▹ Share them at the beginning of the lesson.
▹ Provide them in interactive notebooks.
▹ Return to them during the lesson as checks for understanding

▹ Use them at the end of the lesson as exit tickets

▹ Deliberate Practice

11

Can I?

One way to guide learners to monitor their
own learning, reflect on their thinking, and
evaluate their progress is to transform the
I Can statements into Can I? questions.

Question
Types &
Depth of
Knowledge

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a scale used to
determine the amount of thinking required for
a given question or task.

Aligning your assessment questions to
different DOK levels facilitates higher-order
thinking and allows us to see deeper
understanding of students.

18

Bloom’s

&

Depth of
Knowledge

Bloom's is better used in measuring the
instruction, objective, or cognitive rigor; while
DoK is better used in measuring the actual
assessment itself.

In other words, Bloom's provides the
instructional framework, while DoK analyzes the
specifics of the assignments
