Bloom's Taxonomy
In 1948 a group of six educators met to try to classify educational goals and objectives. The task was very large and difficult to do. In 1956, Benjamin Bloom took this work and introduced his theory about thinking. This theory contains three domains - psychomotor, affective, and cognitive. Although all three are important, the cognitive (thinking) domain receives the most attention in education. Even today, teachers still use Bloom's taxonomy to incorporate higher level thinking processes into lessons. Learn more about what Bloom introduced and how this guides much of what a teacher plans for the classroom.

Review Bloom's Taxonomy on the link below. [|Bloom's]


 * Visuals of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy**

Make a model of Bloom's taxonomy following your teacher's directions. You will make a six-tab "foldable" that lists names of Bloom's cognitive domain on the tabs. Under each tab will be verbs that are associated with the level. On another side you will write three question stems for each level. And finally, on the fourth side you will list possible activities that would fall in the level. Refer to the handout to help you with this.

= Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)  =

The cognitive domain of Bloom's Taxonomy is used to plan objectives and goals for student learning. Using Bloom's Taxonomy as a guide, each state education agency develops a set of objectives and goals for the classes taught within the schools in that state. Texas has a set of objectives for each class that can be taught in public schools. These objectives are called __**Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills**__ or TEKS. Open the link below and take a look at the TEKS for this class.

[|Education and Training TEKS]

On individual index cards, identify three TEKS in this course that have been covered. List an activity that covered each TEKS you selected. Example: **//1C - demonstrate personal characteristics needed by teaching and training professionals.//** Students participated in the Image Scrimmage which had them exhibit skills in public speaking, presentation, and responding professionally to questions.

What will I need to know about the TEKS? How can I use these at my field site? You will use the the TEKS as a starting point to plan learning activities, lesson and educational units for the students in your classroom.

Navigate to the TEKS:
 * Open the BISD webpage []
 * Select "For Staff"
 * Select "Texas Education Agency" (Right side under Other Resources)
 * (Right Side) Select "How Do I ..." Find Curriculum Standards? (TEKS)
 * Scroll down page to **//TEKS by Chapter//** or **//TEKS by Grade//** if you intern at an elementary school**//.//** Look through the TEKS for your grade level. Identify the section which corresponds to the subject your students are studying while you are at your field site. Example: If your students are in 3rd grade and do science and reading while you are at your field site campus, find the TEKS that correspond to 3rd grade math and science.
 * Try to find one TEKS that corresponds to what the children were doing in the classroom during your first few days at your field site classroom.
 * Bookmark the TEA website as a favorite on your MacBook and save this source in your Diigo account. You will be using it more!

This diagram details Bloom's Revised Taxonomy with some of the original verbs (spelled in British English).

Let's put it all together. Learn to use teaching methods to help students organize information in a visual manner. Journals and foldables will be used to organize information learned about Bloom's Taxonomy. Get ready to cut, paste, draw and fold!
