Norman Webb
Indicates the cognitive demand (thinking) for
the state assessment.
Defines the “ceiling” or highest DOK level
for each Core Content standard for the state
assessment.
Guides item development for the state
assessment.
Depth of Knowledge


Determined in the Core Content for
Assessment.
Every item that is assessed will have a DOK
ceiling level.
RD-10-1.0.2
Students will make predictions based on what is read.
DOK 2
4 Levels of DOK

Do NOT equate to performance levels of Novice,
Apprentice, Proficient, and Distinguished

Level 1: Recall and Reproduction
Level 2: Skills and Concepts/Basic Reasoning
Level 3: Strategic Thinking/Complex Reasoning
Level 4: Extended Thinking/Reasoning



Is the Ceiling the Limit?


YES, for State Assessment
NO, for Classroom Instruction
If all students are to reach proficiency then the
DOK ceiling for assessment is the minimum
end goal for instruction for ALL students.
Remember: DOK….




…is descriptive.
…focuses on how deeply a student has to
know the content in order to respond.
…is NOT the same as difficulty.
…is NOT the same as Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Recall and Reproduction: Level 1
DOK 1 requires recall of
information, such as a fact,
definition, term, or performance of
a simple process or procedure.
Answering a Level 1 item can
involve following a simple, wellknown procedure or formula.
Simple skills and abilities or recall
characterize DOK 1.
12
Recall and Reproduction: DOK 1 Examples






List animals that survive by eating other
animals
Locate or recall facts explicitly found in text
Describe physical features of places
Determine the perimeter or area of rectangles
given a drawing or labels
Identify elements of music using musical
terminology
Identify basic rules for participating in
simple games and activities
13
Skills/Concepts: Level 2
DOK 2 includes the engagement of
some mental processing beyond
recalling or reproducing a response.
Items require students to make some
decisions as to how to approach the
question or problem.
These actions imply more than one
mental or cognitive process/step.
14
Skills/Concepts: DOK 2 Examples







Compare desert and tropical environments
Identify and summarize the major events,
problem, solution, conflicts in literary text
Explain the cause-effect of historical events
Predict a logical outcome based on
information in a reading selection
Explain how good work habits are important
at home, school, and on the job
Classify plane and three dimensional figures
Describe various styles of music
15
Strategic Thinking: Level 3
DOK 3 requires deep understanding as
exhibited through planning, using
evidence, and more demanding cognitive
reasoning. The cognitive demands at Level
3 are complex and abstract.
An assessment item that has more than
one possible answer and requires
students to justify the response they give
would most likely be a Level 3.
16
Strategic Thinking DOK 3 Examples



Compare consumer actions and
analyze how these actions impact the
environment
Analyze or evaluate the effectiveness
of literary elements (e.g.,
characterization, setting, point of view,
conflict and resolution, plot structures)
Solve a multiple-step problem and
provide support with a mathematical
explanation that justifies the answer
17
DOK Level 3 Examples




Develop a scientific model for a
complex idea
Propose and evaluate solutions for an
economic problem
Explain, generalize or connect ideas,
using supporting evidence from a text
or source
Create a dance that represents the
characteristics of a culture
18
Extended Thinking: Level 4
DOK 4 requires high cognitive demand and
is very complex. Students are expected to
make connections—relate ideas within the
content or among content areas—and have
to select or devise one approach among
many alternatives on how the situation can
be solved.
Due to the complexity of cognitive demand,
DOK 4 often requires an extended period
of time.
19
However, extended time alone is not the
distinguishing factor.

Extended Thinking: DOK 4
Examples



Gather, analyze, organize, and interpret
information from multiple (print and non
print) sources to draft a reasoned report
Analyzing author’s craft (e.g., style, bias,
literary techniques, point of view)
Create an exercise plan applying the “FITT
(Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type)
Principle”
21
Extended Thinking: DOK 4 Examples



Analyze and explain multiple perspectives or
issues within or across time periods, events,
or cultures
Specify a problem, identify solution paths,
solve the problem, and report the results
Write and produce an original play

The Depth of Knowledge is NOT determined
by the verb, but by the context in which the
verb is used and the depth of thinking
required.
23
 DOK 3- Describe a model that you might use
to represent the relationships that exist within
the rock cycle. (requires deep understanding of rock cycle
and a determination of how best to represent it)
 DOK 2- Describe the difference between
metamorphic and igneous rocks. (requires
cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock
types)
 DOK 1- Describe three characteristics of
metamorphic rocks. (simple recall)
Same verb—three DOK levels
