Curriculum Design

Educators, Parents, and life-long learners: Below are frameworks and tools Kateri has utilized and created to design customized curriculum in private instruction, the classroom, communities, and corporations.

Bloom’s Taxonomy

“The framework elaborated by Benjamin Bloom and his collaborators consisted of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. The categories after Knowledge were presented as “skills and abilities,” with the understanding that knowledge was the necessary precondition for putting these skills and abilities into practice.”

Depths of Knowledge (DOK)

“Based on his 1997 study, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge is a framework that categorizes contexts -- prompts, scenarios and challenges -- into four levels of rigor. As students progress through the DoK levels, they will face contexts in assessments that demand learning and thinking at deeper cognitive stages.”

Concept-Based Arts Integration

“Arts integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both.”
