  1. What is Depth of Knowledge? Measures the degree to which the knowledge elicited from students on assessments and questioning is as complexas what students are expected to know and do as stated in the state standards. --Norman Webb Video explanation: http://vimeo.com/20998609

  2. What does Depth of Knowledge accomplish? Ensures that the intent of the standard and the level of student demonstration required by that standard matches the assessment items and performance indicators.

  3. How does Depth of Knowledge work? DOK is broken into 4 levels. As the levels increase, students must demonstrate increasingly complex mental strategies. Level One is the most basic level, essentially the “definition” stage. Higher levels of DOK require that students solve problems in new and creative ways, and allow for multiple solutions to solve those problems.

  4. Why Depth of Knowledge (DOK)? Mechanism to ensure that the intent of the standard and the level of student demonstration required by that standard matches the assessment items and performance indicators (required under NCLB) To ensure that teachers are teaching to a level that will promote student achievement
