Depth of Knowledge
Level 1: Low cognitive level
Ability to identify, define, recognize and recall knowledge
in classroom.
Level 2: Moderate cognitive level
Ability to apply and analyze knowledge. Establish
connections between knowledge, teaching practice, and
personal experiences.
Level 3: High cognitive level
Ability to evaluate, synthesize, and create knowledge.
Includes judging the quality and limitations as well as
articulation of the linkage between classroom teaching
and the real world problems.

Range of Knowledge
Level 1: Instructional objective
Specific objectives used in classroom teaching (e.g., test
design, questioning approaches, etc.)
Level 2: Educational objective
Statements that describe teacher accomplishment that will
result from instructionspecifically the behaviour the teacher
will learn to perform and the content on which it will be
performed (e.g., differentiate instruction and planning).
Level 3: Global objective
Very broad statements of intended learning that require years
to accomplish (e.g., covers global/out of classroom)
