Bloom vs. DOK Charts:
There are 2 versions of this chart that are similar. The first one was developed by SBAC. The second chart was developed by the Leadership and Learning Center and was shared with the Livingston Principals by Dr. Brandon Doubek. Both charts are accurate and good tools to use in creating a connection between Bloom and DOK levels.
