Using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy to Align Instruction
Participants will receive an introduction to the Revised Taxonomy and its implications for aligning objectives, instruction and assessment. The session will include instruction on how to use a Bloom's grid to align instruction and examples. In small groups, participants will evaluate a lesson of their own or an example provided based on the grid and come up with suggestions for improved alignment.

Hello!
I will be posting an enhanced version of the powerpoint I used in my presentation at www.slideshare.net/ttianna. The new version will have Objectives, Instruction, and Assessment from the examples actually mapped on the grids.

Hello participants! Thank you for signing up for my session on aligning instruction using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. To prepare for our session, please think about lesson plans or training programs that have not gone quite as you planned. Did learners complain that the assessment was too hard? That what they learned wasn't relevant to their job? Did too many fail the assessment? Did supervisors complain that there wasn't transfer to the job? This might be a simple alignment issue. Come to the session with your examples from K-12 or training situations. Also think about your experience writing learning objectives and how useful (or not useful) you have found them to be.
