1. Dillon School District Two Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy

2. The revised taxonomy is two-dimensional, identifying both the kind of knowledge to be learned (knowledge dimension) and the kind of learning expected from students (cognitive processes) to help teachers and administrators improve alignment and rigor in the classroom. This taxonomy will assist educators to improve instruction, to ensure that their lessons and assessments are aligned with one another and with the state academic standards, that their lessons are cognitively rich, and that instructional opportunities are not missed.

6. Q: What happened to knowledge? A: It became a separate dimension – The Knowledge Dimension

12. Apply Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation. – Executing – Implementing Can you use information in another situation?

13. Analyze Break material into its constituent parts and determine how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose. – Differentiating – Organizing – Attributing Can you break information into parts to explore relationships?

14. Evaluate make judgments based on criteria and standards –Checking –Critiquing Can you make & justify a decision or course of action?
