Depth of KnowledgeNorm Webb
  • Level 1 Recall
  • Level 2 Skill/Concept
  • Level 3 Strategic Thinking
  • Level 4 Extended Thinking
  • From the work of Norman Webb

14
Depth of Knowledge
  • NECAP
  • Ceilings defined for all GLEs
  • Based on Norman Webbs Descriptors
  • Levels 1-3 are assessed for Reading
  • Level 4 is for Writing and local assessment
  • NHEIAP
  • Various Levels have always been represented
  • Teacher judgments determined levels
  • Done informally

15
Identifying ceilings and range for
assessmentWhy important?
  • If GLEs are only assessed at the ceiling, then
  • The assessment as a whole might be too difficult
  • Important information might be lost about gains
    in student learning.
