While teachers are working extremely hard, it is time that we work together to share the struggle with how to give students opportunities to grapple with the academic standards at all D.O.K. levels. This PD provides teachers with an understanding of what D.O.K is and what it is not. Participants will be able to identify the D.O.K. levels and types of cognitive processing needed at each level as well as applying this knowledge to their own classroom assessment questions.
