What is Bloom's Taxonomy?

Bloom’s Taxonomy is an incredibly useful teaching technique and further approach for educators to evaluate and ensure student success throughout the process of learning. Created in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom, this education model offers six steps or categories for student learning, evaluation, and reflection. These six categories include: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create. When an educator uses these six teaching and evaluative approaches, it will optimize student growth, understanding, and success.
