Bloom’s KUD Know • 6 levels of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Understand • Achieving complexity in questions and tasks is essential to deeper, more durable student learning. Do • Identify Bloom’s levels in an instructional sequence
On a Sticky Note… • Jot down two of the best questions you’ve asked your students this week. • Set aside.
Discuss at your table… • What makes a question “good”? • What would you see and hear in a classroom where teachers and students are engaged in higher-order questioning? • What would happen to student learning if teachers and students asked effective higher-order questions? (Think about ALL students including all subgroups.) Be prepared to share with the large group.
What are the 6 levels of Bloom’s? Can you put them in order - low to high?

Revisiting the Discussion • What makes a question “good”? • What would you see and hear in a classroom where teachers and students are engaged in higher-order questioning? • What would happen to student learning if teachers and students asked effective higher-order questions? (Think about ALL students including all subgroups.)
Bloom’s in Action • View the video • Use the revised Peer Observation sheet to identify different levels of Bloom’s questioning • Discuss with a partner
Revisit Your Questions • Based on the characteristics of a “good” question and Bloom’s Taxonomy, determine if you asked good, higher-order questions. • Using these questions as a basis, create a better version of each.
