Each level shows you how the student is learning or how they can explain their learning. There's a surface level and a deeper level.

Describes levels of increasing complexity in students’ thinking and understanding

Differentiated venn diagrams

These will be useful to add/adapt our summative assessment. Throughout the year add different levels of differentiation, starting with the simple diagrams and modeling these for our students.

SOLO taxonomy progressions can be used to track the progress of students’ thinking throughout the duration of the unit. Allows us to gather and analyze information about student development.

Charts

There are many different flow charts and diagrams for solo taxonomy for each level.

Use provocations as well as unit pre-assessments to determine starting level

We should write learning outcomes in a way to invite students inquiry. What students will be able to do,How they will learn to do it and inquiry strategies they will use.

6 Thinking Hats

Can be used as a way to visualize the different aspects of understanding. The white hat is useful for data and information gathering, while the red hat can be a way to check in on a students own feelings of understanding.

Opportunity to differentiate

by considering levels when planning and how we want to move the students to the next level.

Keeping the rubric visible throughout the classroom and also thinking about the what, why, and how

Opportunity for choice and agency

As students become increasingly familiar with the levels and the associated verbs, they become more able to construct (or co-construct) success criteria within units or lines of inquiry.

There are 6 characteristics of an effective assessment: Authentic, Clear and specific,Varied,Developmental,Collaborative,Interactive,Feedback to feedforward

Should this be posted in the classroom?

Using different templates depending on unit

for example, building into how we use the time lines during where we are in space and time. Once we've introduced a range of thinking routines, children then have free choice to use whichever they feel the most useful.
