Cognitive Depth |
Classroom teachers often ask: How do we create rich environments where all students learn at a high level? One useful tool, Webb's Depth of Knowledge Levels, can help them meet that challenge. Depth of Knowledge (DOK) categorizes tasks according to the complexity of thinking required to successfully complete them.

DOK Levels are not sequential. Students need not fully master content with Level 1 tasks before doing Level 2 tasks. In fact, giving students an intriguing Level 3 task can provide context and motivation for engaging in the more routine learning at Levels 1 and 2.
