Webb’s Depth of Knowledge
Why DOK? Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK) provides a
vocabulary and a frame of reference when thinking about our students and how they engage with the content.
DOK offers a common language to understand "rigor," or cognitive demand, in assessments, as well as curricular units, lessons, and tasks.
Webb developed four DOK levels that grow in cognitive complexity and provide educators a lens on creating more cognitively engaging and challenging tasks.
Why DOK?

How Does DOK Impact the Classroom? DOK levels are a ceiling, not a target. We
need to question and assess at various levels to gain important information about student learning along the achievement continuum.

We need to build questions and assessments that require the child to read the text to acquire answer
We need to create “demonstrate-and-apply-what-you-have-learned” tasks and assessments to ensure mastery.
