SOLO TAXONOMY by Dima Qubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc What is the SOLO taxonomy? The SOLO taxonomy is a model that describes levels of increasing complexity in students’ thinking and understanding.

This allows teachers to approach inquiry with an assessment mindset, with all learning experiences being opportunities to monitor and document student understanding. SOLO aids in the continual gathering and analysis of information about student development. dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312925394 2018-12-10 14:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312925394 This approach is particularly useful for students during their PYP exhibition as it allows them to plot the pathway of their inquiry, while keeping the focus on moving thinking to increasingly challenging levels. It also helps students, mentors and peers keep their feedback focused on the learning outcomes and success criteria constructed by the student. dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312926195 2018-12-10 14:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312926195 dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312927312 These learning progressions become valuable interactive reflection tools for students, who can use them to look for evidence of their learning and set new goals (self-monitoring and self-adjusting]]> 2018-12-10 14:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312927312 The SOLO taxonomy supports Erickson’s “structure of knowledge” as it starts with students collecting ideas, facts or knowledge before progressing to more sophisticated and demanding levels of thinking where they are required to process the information to make connections, conceptualize and transfer their understanding. dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312928505 2018-12-10 14:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312928505 Students are made aware of different inquiry strategies that can be used at the different levels, they may also select a particular pathway that will support them in achieving the learning outcomes written in the progressions. Furthermore, 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 dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312930925 2018-12-10 14:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312930925 Supports students in becoming more active learners, they need to have an understanding of what they are trying to achieve, know specific ways in which they can be successful, and know what quality looks like. dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312932052 2018-12-10 14:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312932052 The SOLO learning progressions can be shared with students to help them answer the three “visible learning” questions suggested by John Hattie (2012) to help them become assessment-capable.• Where is my learning going?• How am I going?• Where to next? dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312934086 2018-12-10 14:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312934086 dimaqubain https://padlet.com/dimaqubain/pkd2sqlot9uc/wish/312941828 https://www.seisen.com/academics/elementary/es-blogs/pyp-corner/~board/pyp-corner/post/new-units-of-inquiry-starting-after-spring-break
