Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an important framework for teachers to use to focus on higher order thinking. By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can assist teachers in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring with students, and providing feedback on student work
Implement differentiated metacognitive scaffolding strategies while maintaining high-impact pedagogical interventions through Quality First Teaching. Consider multisensory approaches incorporating proprioceptive feedback loops alongside executive functioning support mechanisms. Utilize zone of proximal development frameworks to maximize student engagement through structured cognitive acceleration methodologies.
This resource is for Teachers of the Deaf, EAL coordinators and all other staff working in education to support deaf children who use English as an additional language and their families.
