DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE (DOK) TRAINING

Are You Ready to Rethink Depth of Knowledge (DOK)?

MAVERIK EDUCATION specializes in providing comprehensive and continuous professional learning,  guidance, and support on how to understand and use Depth of Knowledge (DOK) as a concept, framework and language accurately and appropriately. 


Our services and support applies and extends the ideas and strategies featured in the book Deconstructing Depth of Knowledge: A Method and Model for Deeper Teaching and Learning by Erik M. Francis and published by Solution Tree.


Through our guidance, support, and training, schools and staff will learn the following:


  • How Depth of Knowledge as a concept establishes and evaluates the complexity of academic standards, activities, and assessments


  • How to use the language of DOK to specify what exactly and how deeply students must comprehend and communicate their learning


  • How to use the DOK Levels to plan and provide teaching and learning experiences that are standards driven and student supportive


  • How Depth of Knowledge provides a process for elevating student learning and enhancing teacher instruction


We also offer a comprehensive "train the trainer" program and model designed to equip and empower educators with implementing and sustaining Depth of Knowledge (DOK) as a goal and expectation in their organization. Click here to learn more.
