Overview of Depth of Knowledge • What is Depth of Knowledge (DOK)? • Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a measure of cognitive demand required by a question, assignment, task, assessment, etc. • How is DOK used? • DOK is made up of four levels that help identify the complexity of the cognitive demand of what is being asked of students. • Why should we consider using it? • DOK is based on the research of Norman Webb, University of Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the National Institute for Science Education • Has been widely used to guide assessment development for classroom, school, state, and national assessments (e.g., NAEP) • Can refine our understanding of what we mean by a more “rigorous task” and/or “cognitively demanding” task 3
Webb’s Depth-of-Knowledge Levels DOK-1 – Recall & Reproduction - Recall of a fact, term, principle, concept, or perform a routine procedure DOK-2 - Basic Application of Skills/Concepts - Use of information, conceptual knowledge, select appropriate procedures for a task, two or more steps with decision points along the way, routine problems, organize/display data, interpret/use simple graphs DOK-3 - Strategic Thinking - Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps to approach problem; requires some decision making and justification; abstract, complex, or non-routine; often more than one possible answer DOK-4 - Extended Thinking - An investigation or application to real world; requires time to research, problem solve, and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; non-routine manipulations, across disciplines/content areas/multiple sources 5
Depth of Knowledge: Science Level 1 — Identify the tree. Level 2 — Explain the function of the leaves. Level 3 — Explain how a drought might affect the growth of the tree. Level 4 — Design an investigation of seedling growth to determine the best fertilizer for this type of tree.
Science Depth of Knowledge Levels • Interpreting and assigning depth-of-knowledge levels to objectives both within standards and assessment items is an essential requirement of alignment analysis. • Four levels of depth of knowledge are used for this analysis. Because the highest (fourth) DOK level is rare or even absent in most standardized assessments, reviewers usually will be making distinctions among DOK levels 1, 2 and 3. • Please note that in science, “knowledge” can refer both to content knowledge and knowledge of science processes. - Norman L. Webb March 28, 2002
Depth of Knowledge: ELA Level 1 — Identify the main characters in this story. Level 2 — Which of the following best describes the main characters’ feelings about each other? Level 3 — Why do the main characters conflict? Level 4 — Interview your friends to compare how they deal with problems with other people.

Let’s Chart DOK Levels: • Kindly remove the handout “DOK Levels for Four Content Areas” and read the science Section. Please underline students’ expectations/requirements for each DOK level (1-4) for Science ONLY. • You may work in pairs and complete the following handout while your talented table facilitator charts your responses. DOK for Science (Handout)
It’s Your Turn To Try…… Kindly turn to the packet of Science questions & tasks to determine the Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Level and rationale, for each question.
From the NYC DOE - Introducing……. James Leahy, Title IIB Grant Manager Office of School Partnerships and Programs, NYCDOE STEM32: www.stem32.com STEMi Grant: www.stemi-nyc.com/registerJLeahy@schools.nyc.gov 646.248.1267Register for STEMi PD http://www.stemi-nyc.com/register
Writing Performance Tasks Using the CCSS and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge • Webb’s Depth of Knowledge can be used along with the CCSS to raise the level of complexity and rigor of performance tasks. • DOK is also highly useful in the design of rigorous, standards-based assessments that measure cognitive complexity. • Tasks and instruction at the appropriate DOL Levels enable students to truly capture cognitive complexity and become comfortable with the demand for thinking at a higher level.
Model Exemplar: Activity 4.1A (continued) • Reading for Information [RI.4.4] Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text relevant to a grade 4 topic or subject area. • Exemplar CCSS Performance Task: Students determine the meaning of domain-specific words or phrases, such as crust, mantle, magma, and lava, and important general academic words and phrases that appear in Seymour Simon’s Volcanoes. [RI.4.4] • Depth of Knowledge Level: ___1___ • Reason(s) Why: -Recall & reproduction of facts/terms, concepts, rote, routine…
Below is another rigorous performance task that has been created at a higher DOK Level. Using the internet and/or other text material, collect and display data on the most active volcanoes in the western hemisphere that had a magnitude of 6.0 or greater, over the past five years. Name the mountain/volcano, the precise location and the level of magnitude. • Depth of Knowledge Level: __2__ • Why? -Use of information/conceptual knowledge, organizing and displaying data, explain, summarize.
Activity 4.1B-E Writing Performance Tasks • Select the Performance Task that you and your partner would like to make more rigorous (B-E). • Read the informational text. • Read the CCSS Reading for Information [RI] Standard. • Read the sample performance task and determine the level of Depth of Knowledge. • Using Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, with a partner, create a more rigorous performance task and determine its level of Depth of Knowledge. (Please work on chart paper). • If time allows, repeat this process for any additional tasks.

PAUSE TO RECALL TO REFLECT Science / Literacy Article Reading & Writing in the Service of Inquiry-Based Science, Cervetti, Pearson, Bravo & Barber Pause to Recall to Reflect Protocol • First, Pause to Recall to Reflect: on post-its write key points that you remember from assigned reading. • All participants read the Introduction on pages 2-9. • Then, skim the assigned Insight-section*and highlight sentences, phrases, and words. • Work with a partner share your noticings and write them on post-its. • At your table generate one Big Idea and select a table leader who will be prepared to share out. Introduction – all participants – pages 2-9 -Table #1 - Insight # 1 –– pages 9-15 -Table #2 - Insight #2 –– pages 15-20 -Table #3 - Insights #3 –– pages 21-23 -Table #4 – Insight #4 – pages 23-26 -Table #5 – Insight #5 – pages 27-30
