583 – California Common Core Depth of Knowledge: English Language Arts

This is a 5-week online course

Participants will examine and consider how Depth of Knowledge offers a common language to understand "rigor," or cognitive demand, in assessments, as well as curricular units, lessons, and tasks.

Participants will learn about the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium and how it is developing an assessment system based on the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the DOK levels of complexity. They will understand that these components will provide student data throughout the academic year to inform instruction, guide interventions, help target professional development, and ensure an accurate measure of each student’s progress toward career and college readiness.

Participants will understand how Webb’s four DOK levels grow in cognitive complexity and provide educators with a lens to enable them to create more cognitively engaging and challenging tasks.

Participants will learn new strategies through video examples, in-depth readings, and activities. These will help them apply their learning to their own classrooms and begin to integrate the DOK levels and the CCSS standards into their practice.
