Depth of Knowledge
Depth of knowledge, or DOK, evaluates the alignment between the depth or complexity of cognitive processing required for a student to complete an assessment task and how well that assessment task aligns with the cognitive complexity expressed in the standards being assessed.
The concept of DOK, developed by Norman Webb, breaks down into four levels - explained in the table that follows.
ATI offers a number of ways to measure the achievement of complex skills aligned to Common Core State Standards using Galileo K-12 Online assessment solutions. Items involving analysis and reasoning (available now in the ATI item banks) measure student capabilities and comprehension beyond factual recall. Assessments can be integrated into the instructional process and thereby expanded to cover student performance occurring over time periods that extend beyond the limited time periods allotted for selected-response tests.

New: Webisodes
In our conversations with users, we have learned that schools have a growing interest in digital professional development opportunities for teachers seeking to increase student engagement and achievement. We are developing educational K-12 webisodes that emphasize the integration of technology and teaching strategies relevant to Common-Core- and/or new-science-standards-curricula and to the goal of increasing student involvement in the learning process.
ATI and the New K-12 Science Standards, the first-released webisode, introduces a discussion centering on the new K-12 science standards’ emphasis on modeling throughout the performance expectations. These models are expected to explain, explore, and predict scientific phenomena. The webisode also shares modeling resources available through ATI’s dialogic technology.
