Description
Teachers still struggle with designing instructional activities and assessments that require students to use critical-thinking skills. Attendees are shown how to boost the cognitive complexity of instructional tasks and assessments by utilizing scenarios, quotes, and graphics. The presenters model each strategy and show several examples in various content areas and grade levels. After each strategy is presented, attendees develop assessment items or instructional activities that utilize the demonstrated technique.
