1 A New Lens for Examining Cognitive Rigor in Standards, Curriculum, & Assessments What are some implications for the transition to Common Core State Standards? Karin K. Hess, Ed.D., Senior Associate National Center for Assessment, Dover, NH Presentations made in
2 Before we begin Take a couple of minutes to write your personal definition of cognitive rigor as it relates to instruction/learning/assessment.
3 Now, let s apply your rigor definition iti Your class has just read a version of Little Red Riding Hood. What is a basic comprehension question you might ask? What is a more rigorous What is a more rigorous question you might ask?
4 Introducing the Hess Cognitive Rigor Matrix Handout: CRM for English Language Arts Source (article): What exactly do fewer, clearer, and higher standards really look like in the classroom? Using a cognitive rigor matrix to analyze curriculum, plan lessons, and implement assessments (Hess, Carlock, Jones, & Walkup, 2009)
5 Developing the Cognitive Rigor Matrix Different states/schools/teachers use different models to describe cognitive rigor. Each may address something different. Bloom What type of thinking (verbs) is needed to complete a task? Webb How deeply do you have to understand the content to successfully interact t with it? How complex or abstract is the content?
6 Bloom s Taxonomy [1956 ] & Bloom s Cognitive Process Dimensions i [2005] Knowledge -- Define, duplicate, label, list, name, order, recognize, relate, recall Comprehension -- Classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, review, select, translate Application -- Apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, practice, write Analysis -- Analyze, appraise, explain calculate, categorize, compare, criticize, discriminate, examine Synthesis -- Rearrange, assemble, collect, compose, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, write Evaluation -- Appraise, argue, assess, choose, compare, defend, estimate, explain, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value Remember Retrieve knowledge from long-term memory, recognize, recall, locate, identify Understand -- Construct meaning, clarify, paraphrase, represent, translate, illustrate, give examples, classify, categorize, summarize, generalize, predict Apply -- Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation; carry out or use /apply to an unfamiliar task Analyze -- Break into constituent parts, determine how parts relate Evaluate -- Make judgments based on criteria, check, detect inconsistencies/fallacies, critique Create -- Put elements together to form a coherent whole, reorganize elements into new patterns/ structures
7 Webb s Depth-of-Knowledge Levels DOK-1 Recall & Reproduction - Recall of a fact, term, principle, concept; perform a routine procedure; locate details DOK-2 - Basic Application of Skills/Concepts -Use of information; conceptual knowledge; select appropriate procedures for a given task; two or more steps with decision points along the way; routine problems; organize/display data; interpret/use simple graphs; summarize; identify main idea; explain relationships; make predictions DOK-3 - Strategic Thinking - Requires reasoning, or developing a plan or sequence of steps to approach problem; requires decision making or justification; abstract, complex, or non-routine; often more than one possible answer; support solutions or judgments with text evidence DOK-4 - Extended Thinking - An investigation or application to real world; requires time to research, problem solve, and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; non-routine manipulations; synthesize information across disciplines/content areas/multiple sources
8 DOK is about depth & complexity not t difficulty! The intended student learning outcome determines the DOK level. What mental processing must occur? While verbs may appear to point to a DOK level, it is what comes after the verb that is the best indicator of the rigor/dok level. Describe the process of photosynthesis. Describe how the two political parties are alike and different. Describe the most significant effect of WWII on the nations of Europe.
9 Hess Cognitive Rigor Matrix: Applies Webb s DOK to Bloom s Cognitive Process Dimensions Depth + Level 1 Recall & Level 2 Basic Skills & Level 3 Strategic thinking Reproduction Concepts Thinking & Reasoning Remember - Recall, locate basic facts, details, events Level 4 Extended Thinking Understand - Select appropriate words to use when intended meaning is clearly evident - Specify, explain relationships - summarize identify main ideas - Explain, generalize, or connect ideas using supporting evidence (quote, example ) -Explain how concepts or ideas specifically relate to other content domains or concepts Apply -Use language structure (pre/suffix) or word relationships (synonym/antonym) to determine meaning Use context to identify meaning of word - Obtain and interpret t information using text features - Use concepts to solve non-routine problems - Devise an approach among many alternatives to research a novel problem Analyze -Identify whether information is contained in a graph, table, etc. Compare literary elements, terms, facts, events analyze format, organization, & text structures - Analyze or interpret author s craft (literary devices, viewpoint, or potential bias) to critique a text Analyze multiple sources or texts - Analyze complex/abstract themes Evaluate Create Cite evidence and develop a logical argument for conjectures - Evaluate relevancy, accuracy, & completeness of information - Brainstorm ideas - Generate - Synthesize - Synthesize about a topic conjectures based on information within information across observations or prior one source or text multiple sources or knowledge texts

11 Let s practice using the CRM Handout: Little Red Riding Hood CRM template Where would you place your sample questions in the CRMbasic and more rigorous questions?
12 The CR Matrix: A Reading Example Back to Little Red Riding Hood, Depth + Level 1 Recall & Level 2 Level 3 Skills & Strategic thinking Reproduction Concepts Thinking/ Reasoning Remember Level 4 Extended Thinking Understand Apply Analyze Evaluate Create
13 What are some implications for current-to-future t t Curriculum & Instruction? School/Classroom Assessment? Formative Assessments & Progress Monitoring?
14 Figure out where you are now & where your transition i plan begins 1. Revisit your definition of rigor has it changed? In what ways? 2. Establish a shared understanding of what cognitive rigor looks like across content t areas for your district/school/classrooms. 3. What existing curriculum or assessment materials could you re-examine to increase the range of cognitive rigor? 4. What gaps will need to be filled?
15 Cognitive Rigor & Some Implications for Assessment Assessing only at the highest DOK level will miss opportunities to know what students do & don t know go for a range; end high h in selected/prioritized content Performance assessments can offer varying levels of DOK embedded in a larger, more complex task Planned formative assessment strategies and tools can focus on differing i DOK levelsl
