Depth of Knowledge levels

Here is a link to a helpful explanatory video about Webb's Depth of Knowledge levels and chart to use when determining the goals you hope your students will meet through various formative and summative assignments and assessments.  

To use this in your classroom teaching and planning, you can apply words and ideas from this "wheel" to determine the level of difficulty and complexity of the tasks you are assigning.  Students are meant to have experiences at all four levels, and all levels are of value to their learning.  The difficulty of tasks begins with level 1 (least complex) and gets progressively more challenging up to level 4.
