TD101B1: Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) for CBIB

This course is designed for anyone interested in learning how to write and review assessment items for the North Carolina Testing Program based on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

In order to provide more rigor and increase the higher order thinking skills required for student success, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction adopted frameworks for identifying cognitive demand. The North Carolina Testing Program requires items written to be tagged with the appropriate cognitive load designation that has been modeled to each standard. Item writers and reviewers need to have a basic understanding of the taxonomies that are covered for the standards that they are writing or reviewing.

This self-directed course should take approximately thirty (30) minutes to complete. Upon successful completion, enrollment keys for the associated subjects/standards are provided.
