- 1. Teaching for Understanding Higher Order Skills (1) Session 6
- 2. Reflective Questions • What are higher order skills? • What is Bloom’s taxonomy? What role does it play in Curriculum for Excellence? • Which skills are essential learning for 21st century pupils? Why? • Which HOS are integrated into my teaching? • Which HOS skills do I use most? Why might this be?
- 3. Learning Intention • We are developing knowledge and understanding of the higher order skills
- 4. Success Criteria I can: • Increase my knowledge of the higher order skills • Understand how these skills can be organised using taxonomies • Identify and evaluate an example of these skills within my practice
- 5. Impact • Where is your understanding of the higher order skills at the moment on a rating of 1 – 6? • 1 being low understanding • 6 being high understanding
- 6. Format : • Welcome • Whole group task – Round Robin, carousel to share, video • Individual task – Hand out 1 • Paired task – Bloom’s triangle – assign tasks to HOS • Group task – Handout 2 & discussion • Action Plan
- 8. Whole Group Task • Use Round Robin, Team Relay or chosen method to gather and record existing understanding of HOS as notes and words on a flip chart sheet • Carousel or share whole group responses to these records – record any questions the group has • View Kier Bloomer video 6.1– discuss which aspects the group already had understanding of and also which of their questions have been answered
- 9. Individual Task • Study Hand out 1 – Bloom’s and HOS taxonomies
- 10. Paired Task • Use Bloom’s triangle activity to assign tasks to HOS
- 11. Group Task • Use Hand out 2 – • What would emerging and advanced examples of this look like? How much do I integrate Higher Order Skills into my practice? • Use as focus for paired interview of random partner to respond to: Which HOS have you used in recent lessons? How did it go?
- 13. Teacher Action Plan • Individuals record their own progress and define next steps • Monitor the extent of their use of HOS and note which are used and which ones recur most often • Consider using the Excellence group taxonomy at the bottom of handout 1 – is this more or less useful to you?
- 14. Evaluation • Where is your understanding of higher order skill taxonomies and their use now? • Impact – rating 1 – 6
