Translate “learning how to learn” from a pedagogical principle into everyday classroom practice with this series. SOLO Taxonomy offers a clear, simple and robust way of identifying the level of cognitive complexity of learning intentions and outcomes, and consequently makes feedback and “feed forward” more effective in the learning process; ensuring learning outcomes are visible to teachers, students and parents, alike.
Focusing on SOLO Taxonomy’s common language of learning, this book assists teachers to write learning intentions and identify supporting strategies and success criteria, and students to self assess their learning outcomes.
