SOLO Taxonomy

• 5 levels of learning (Posters & PE example):Surface to deep learning

Simple to complex understanding

assessment (AfL)• Great way to display student ‘progress’ in 20 minutes

SOLO v BLOOM’S

Better than Bloom’s…Why? = user friendly• SOLO is different as the steps provide a far

clearer path of progression for pupils….

TEEP: Construct

3 Stations with clear instructions (C3B4ME):1. Hexagonal Learning2. SOLO question generator & their thinking square

solutions3. LEGO Building

Tight timings:• 8 min per station• 2 minute TEEP review of station• Repeat x 3

The Extended Abstract Problem..

• Once a student has reached the Extended Abstract SOLO level it is not the end point in their learning

• Key is to loop back to the multistructural level where we build up the quantity of our knowledge

• Students can then find more potential links (relational) and apply these to create new ideas and concepts (extended abstract)
