What is DOK?

Did you say "What is DOK?" This session is for you! Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is the levels of critical thinking. I teach math and shockingly most of the math book is DOK 1... low level critical thinking. All subjects... all grade levels... we need to evaluate the critical thinking levels of what we ask our students. I literally on ALL assignments label the DOK level of the activity, even if it's DOK ZERO (check in for attendance.) This helps me to strive to better. In an age of Google DOK 1 can be googled, we have to kick up a notch the kinds of questions we ask and the tasks we want students to do.
