This is the lowest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy, where learners simply recognize and recall facts.
What is Remember?
Instead of lecturing, SI leaders ask these types of questions to begin participation.
What are open-ended questions?
When students pair up and work together to explain concepts to each other, SI Leaders are using this CLT.
What is Think-Pair-Share?
When an SI Leader asks, “Can someone explain that in their own words?” they are using this strategy.
What is Checking for Understanding?
This tool helps SI leaders organize material that will be covered in the session
What is a planning sheet?
Compare and Contrast are commonly used with this level of Blooms
What is Understand?
SI Leaders begin sessions with this type of activity to build comfort and focus.
Opening Activity
A CLT where students rotate roles in small groups to solve questions.
What is Jigsaw?
This strategy promotes peer-to-peer learning by shifting the responsibility of answering from the leader to the group.
What is Redirecting?
Thinking on what worked and what didn't after a session is called
What is reflection?

What is Create?
SASS typically wants leaders to begin planning when
What is in the lecture?

What is Group Discussion?

What are probing questions?
Writing this on the board of the beginning of the session will help students keep track of what is happening in each session.
"Find what is wrong in the question" and "Justify why this question is correct" are questions for this level of Blooms.
What is Analyze?
Including collaborative learning techniques in the planning sheet ensures sessions emphasize this.
What is active student engagement?
This CLT develops confidence, communication skills, and deeper comprehension by having learners teach peers directly.
What is Individual Presentation?
Checking for understanding is most effective when paired with this facilitation strategy, which gives students time to think before responding.
What is Wait Time 1?
Using notes, PowerPoints, and the textbook to do this ensures that students connect the session to the course content.
What is redirecting?
This level of Blooms is used to develop, design, and construct.
What is Create?
How often should you upload a planning sheet
This CLT promotes efficiency by having groups focus on subtopics, then combine insights for collective learning.
What is Clusters?
SI Leaders use this strategy to encourage deeper dialogue by pausing after a student’s response.
What is Wait Time 2?
Printing these with plenty of time before sessions, will set the SI leader and students up for success.
