Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK) provides a vocabulary and a frame of reference when thinking about our students and how they engage with the content. DOK offers a common language to understand "rigor," or cognitive demand, in assessments, as well as curricular units, lessons, and tasks. Webb developed four DOK levels that grow in cognitive complexity and provide educators a lens on creating more cognitively engaging and challenging tasks.

The DOK chart.
And this is a nice chart with words/phrases a teacher can use to create questions.
This is cool: DOK question stems.
This links DOK and Blooms specifically for math. It's called Hess' Cognitive Rigor Matrix for Math and Science.
And here it is for ELA: Hess' Cognitive Rigor Matrix for Reading and Writing
Speaking of Karen Hess, here's a great video where Karen explains Depth of Knowledge. Very clear and interesting to watch.
Webb's Depth of Knowledge Guide. Great stuff for implementation. Check out pages 7, 9, 11, and 13!
Another great implementation guide: Hess' A Guide for Using Webb's DOK with Common Core State Standards. This is awesome because not only does it give an explanation and correlation between Bloom's and Webb, but the cool thing is this gives possible products, potential activities, and potential questions. Seems really, really useful.
Handout created with Webb's question stems on the front and possible activities and teacher/student roles on the back. Handed out at Loma Portal's second DOK training on April 23, 2015.
A great video to introduce Depth of Knowledge from NYC Dept. of Ed.
Stanislaus County Department of Ed website. Very helpful. A ton of resources.
Another great website with a ton of resources: Franklyn Community Schools website. Lots of stuff!
