Teachers - Try This Step-By-Step Guide to Bloom’s Taxonomy This review by a.i. also serves as an excellent description of this resource. I give this resource 5 out of 5 stars for its accessibility and practicality for teachers new to Bloom’s Taxonomy. If you’re looking for an easy way to start using Bloom’s Taxonomy to boost critical thinking in your lessons, I highly recommend checking out the resource “Scaffolding Skills for Teachers and Pupils.” I know learning a new teaching framework can feel overwhelming at first. But this resource breaks down Bloom’s Taxonomy in a very teacher-friendly format. It walks you step-by-step through each level of the taxonomy, using summary of the Magna Carta to model sample questions. There are so many things I like about how this resource introduces Bloom’s Taxonomy: The explanations of each thinking skill are simple yet insightful. As someone new to Bloom’s, I appreciated how it brought clarity to the definitions. The variety of sample question stems per level helps put the theory into practice. You can reference these when creating your own questions. It encourages interactivity by having you write your own questions. This further cements understanding. The full modelling with the text extract is so useful. It’s a template for how to apply Bloom’s Taxonomy levels to any document in your subject. There is a ready-made student handout to use instantly in lessons. No extra prep needed! Also, the research evidence on using Bloom’s Taxonomy in secondary classrooms inspires confidence that the approach boosts higher-order thinking. This resource enables teachers to easily integrate more taxonomy-aligned activities into their teaching.
