My Creative Process

During CPSA260, we discussed various concepts related to effective teaching and leadership, including classroom management, lesson planning, facilitating group discussions, implementing assessment strategies, and more. One concept that stood out to me was Bloom's Taxonomy for writing lesson goals. Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals and objectives. It consists of six levels, starting with lower-order thinking skills such as remembering and understanding, and progressing to higher-order thinking skills such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

I applied Bloom's Taxonomy in my workshop content and delivery by using it to write clear and measurable learning objectives for my lessons. By using Bloom's Taxonomy, I was able to identify the desired level of thinking skills that my students should be able to demonstrate at the end of each lesson. For example, for a lesson on persuasive writing, my learning objective might be: "By the end of this lesson, students will be able to evaluate persuasive arguments and create their own persuasive piece using higher-order thinking skills."

Using Bloom's Taxonomy helped me enhance my leadership and creative skills by enabling me to design lessons that were not only engaging but also challenged my students to think critically and creatively. By focusing on higher-order thinking skills, I was able to create a classroom environment that fostered creativity and innovation.

In summary, applying Bloom's Taxonomy to write lesson goals has been an effective technique that I have implemented in my workshop content and delivery. It has helped me create clear and measurable learning objectives and fostered creativity and innovation in my classroom. As mentioned in the CPSA260 materials, Bloom's Taxonomy is a widely used and effective framework for designing lesson plans and is a valuable tool for any educator to have in their toolkit.
