Depth of Knowledge (DOK) continues to be a focus and priority in education. However, if your understanding of it is cloudy, you’re not alone. In this edWebinar, you will learn how DOK clarifies what exactly students must learn and how deeply students must understand and use their learning. You will also learn how the DOK levels can be used to plan and provide teaching and learning experiences that are standards-based, socially and emotionally supportive, and student responsive.
You’ll also hear about comparing the demand and expectations of DOK teaching and learning experiences to TV quiz shows such as Jeopardy! and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (DOK 1), instructional TV shows such as The Joy of Painting and 30-Minute Meals (DOK 2), skills-based reality TV competitions such as LEGO Masters and Top Chef (DOK 3), and business reality TV competitions such as Kitchen Nightmares and Shark Tank (DOK 4).
This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
