BLOOMS TAXONOMY FRAMEWORK

Levels of Thinking and Questioning

Knowledge of Blooms Taxonomy 

This is one of the most important strategies you can implement in your classroom.

It sets out the levels of thinking that you want to involve your students in.

"Bloom’s taxonomy has been actively used by teachers from K - 12 to college instructors for over five decades. Yet it is still just as important today as it was  in the 1950s.

• Bloom’s Taxonomy is essential because it helps educators identify achievable learning goals and develop plans to meet them.
• The Bloom’s Taxonomy framework allows educators to assess learning on an ongoing basis, encouraging students to reflect on their progress."

 Dr. DOUGLAS REEVES ON ASSESSMENT

This is one of my favourite presenters who speaks on this topic.

HIS THEMES

- get rid of the zero in assessment 

- eliminate the concept of the average. 

   It just does not make sense in the 21st Century working world

- Use a 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 grading scale 

   Percentage grades do not make mathematical sense. 

- the focus on assessment is motivate students to "get the work done". 

His work is supported by the MOE.  

Check out his video.
