About. The resource first provides a description of the development of Bloom's taxonomy, before breaking this down with examples. There are then some suggestions for how these might be expressed in lesson objectives, and some keywords to use/avoid. A brief set of prompts for thinking about planning for differentiation is provided before a medium-term planning discussion sheet to use when considering unit Schemes of Work/lesson plans.

Pedagogical content. This resource encourages teachers to think about ways to link learning objectives(ta) to the curriculum which also helps to conceptualise their teaching schemes. It also helps children to understand what they are learning and what they are aiming for. The resource brings together key ideas, looking at specific outcomes from activities, vocabulary(ta), differentiation(ta), resources and curriculum development(topic) and short term planning(ta). It could be used as a 'refresher' on ideas when planning lessons. (edit)

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session you should be able to:

  1. All will have some understanding of the background behind Bloom's taxonomy.
  2. All will be able to identify, explain, and apply the levels of Bloom's taxonomy in relation to higher order questioning skills.
  3. All will have developed some strategies to relate questioning to the curriculum, and progression in science – relating questioning to vocabulary, communication of ideas, varying activities, learning objectives and so on.
  4. All will have considered the ways questioning can be used to differentiate
  5. All will have considered ways to express objectives on lesson plans
