Elevating Science Rigor: Deep Diving into Standards with DOK and AI-Enhanced Questioning In this 2 day interactive session, participants will explore Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK) framework to deepen their understanding of rigor and its role in student learning. Using AI tools, participants will craft DOK-aligned questions tailored to their content standards, unlocking innovative ways to challenge and engage students. The session also incorporates ATLAS Achievement Level Descriptions to elevate instructional rigor. We will leverage the ATLAS Descriptors to ensure alignment with rigorous expectations. #yourBESTsolution #thinkcoop1st We Serve and Support our Schools so that ALL Students Succeed. https://www.escweb.net/ar_esc/catalog/session.aspx?session_id=547765
