Overview:

This resource is a succinct discussion of the revisions to Bloom’s classic cognitive taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl and how to use them effectively. The Anderson/Krathwohl text has numerous examples of how these concepts can be used for K-12 teachers. Since the author has used this material in her teaching (a special topics graduate course on taxonomies and their uses entitled Beyond Bloom’s,) and has also presented on this topic in several national conferences, she has artifacts and examples of how these revisions can be used effectively in college teaching. While this resource provides a link to an artifact, to be fully understood you might need to view the original assignment and the supportive documents. The author would be happy to provide those and discuss them more fully. She is always happy to share information with other educators.
