Learning Targets Learning for Module 3 -Part 2 Use Revised Bloom’s as a lens to view new standards and student assignments and assessments.
2 Dimensions
What We Need To Know @ Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy……. The revised taxonomy is not necessarily hierarchical in nature. The students do not always have to master one level of cognitive processes before advancing to another. For example, students may need to apply a procedure before they really understand the use of that procedure. RBT was written to be used for aligning standards, objectives, units and assessment.
