Dillon School District Two Revised Blooms
Taxonomy

Revised Blooms Taxonomy   The revised taxonomy
is two-dimensional, identifying both the kind of
knowledge to be learned (knowledge dimension) and
the kind of learning expected from students
(cognitive processes) to help teachers and
administrators improve alignment and rigor in the
classroom. This taxonomy will assist educators
to improve instruction, to ensure that their
lessons and assessments are aligned with one
another and with the state academic standards,
that their lessons are cognitively rich, and that
instructional opportunities are not missed.
