DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE (DOK) NOTE PAGE

DOK Level 1 DOK Level 2 Recall and Reproduction

Skills and Concepts/Basic Reasoning

DOK Level 3 DOK Level 4 Strategic Thinking and Complex

Reasoning

Extended Thinking

Karen Hess Points to Remember:

• Student instruction should address all DOK levels on a daily/weekly basis

• Planned formative assessment strategies and tools should focus on differing DOK levels

• Assessing only at the highest DOK level will miss opportunities to know how students are progressing in their learning
