"Depth of knowledge (DOK) is a hard-to-define, contentious framework for education that is often overlooked due to a lack of clarity surrounding what it entails. Author Erik M. Francis seeks to clear up this cloudy perception of DOK with his book Deconstructing Depth of Knowledge: A Method and Model for Deeper Teaching and Learning. This resource clearly defines depth of knowledge and explores how it can be applied to instruction based on distinct models presented by various educational experts since itsinitial inception in the '90s. The book also adapts DOK for different purposes, including instruction, extended student learning, and response to intervention. Select chapters focus on converting learning standards into DOK learning targets. Deconstructing Depth of Knowledge is the whole package when it comes to depth of knowledge, providing readers with everything they need to know about what it is, who it's for, and how to use and sustain it"--
