249 Bloom's Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking Bloom’s Taxonomy’s verbs–also know as power verbs or thinking verbs–are extraordinarily powerful instructional planning tools. In fact, next to the concept of backwards-design and power standards, they are likely the most useful tool a teacher-as-learning-designer has access to. Why? They can be used for curriculum mapping, assessment design, lesson planning, personalizing and differentiating learning, and almost any other “thing” a teacher–or student–has to do. For example, if a standard asks students to infer and demonstrate an author’s position using evidence from the text, there’s a lot built into that kind of task. Though the chart below reads left to right, it’s ideal to imagine it as a kind of incline, with Knowledge at the bottom, and Create at the top. 249 Bloom’s Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking
A Life of Productivity – The top 10 lessons I learned from A Year of Productivity When I graduated University with a business degree last May, I received two incredible full-time job offers, both of which I declined because I had a plan.

Over the last 12 months I have conducted countless productivity experiments on myself, interviewed some of the most productive people in the world, and read a ton of books and academic literature on productivity, all to explore how I could become as productive as possible, and then write about the lessons I learned.

To close out my year of productivity, I have assembled a collection of all of the biggest things I’ve learned in my journey to become as productive as possible. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 1. 5.

Workloads are ballooning and everything feels important. However, the truth is that a lot of the work we do every day doesn’t really need to be done.

The Six Stages of Mental Strength | Leveraging Adversity Many people think that mentally strong people are simply born that way. That from the moment their feet hit the ground, they are simply endowed with some almost supernatural skill that allows them to face challenges bravely. Others think that mental strength is like a light bulb – it is either turned on or turned off. What most people don’t know is that mental strength it is neither a genetic gift, nor a character trait. Here are the six stages of mental strength: Disruption. Uncertainty. Reconsideration. Search for Meaning. Recrafting the Narrative. Building Agency. Becoming mentally strong isn’t about having all the answers, never feeling weak, or never admitting defeat.

A Look at Life Inside a 1969 Hippie Tree House Village in Hawaii (NSFW) Diane Upstairs in tne Bedroom Hawk, Cherry and Moses The School Teacher’s House Taylor Camp, says Hawaii-based photographer John Wehrheim, was not a commune, and there were no rules. Wehrheim arrived in Kauai in 1971 at the age of twenty-three, bearing only a bag, a surfboard, and a bong. When he first ventured into the camp, the photographer was met with a degree of suspicion. People came to Taylor Camp in search of an existence sequestered from the violence that dominated mainstream media and life. Taylor Camp stood for eight years, until in 1977 it was razed to the ground. These days, Wehrheim is a member of the Taylor Camp Facebook group, and he frequently reconnects with former residents, and in addition to the book, he has created a film to honor his friends from Taylor Camp.

Time Blocking -- The Secret Weapon For Better Focus Advertisement Are you looking for a more efficient way to organise your work-days? Try Time Blocking. A few months back, I came across Cal Newport’s illuminating post on Time Blocking — a productivity “hack” that helps you to make the most of your work day by assigning very specific tasks to very specific blocks of time. This is loosely based on Parkinson’s Law, the idea of which is that work will simply expand to fill the time available for its completion. For some, the idea of scheduling tasks in such a rigid way may be counter intuitive. Newport generally spends around 15-20 minutes at the end of each day planning his ‘time blocks’ for the following day, with the overall goal to “make sure progress is being made on the right things at the right pace for the relevant deadlines”. For a potential promise of a 50% increase in productivity (especially related to deep, tough work), the temptation to give this hack a trial run is hard to resist. Give Some Time To Planning For example… 1.
