Bloom's Taxonomy
![Blooms Taxonomy illustration: A series of 6 building blocks are stacked on top of each other, decreasing in size as they go up, creating a pyramid-style construction. Each block represents one of 6 thinking skills. These skills become more sophisticated as the pyramid climbs and reminds us that the foundation of learning is knowledge.](https://images.prismic.io/sketchplanations/6786d6c5-fa04-467a-9d11-601ffe9caf82_SP+732+-+Bloom%E2%80%99s+Taxonomy+%28revised%29.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=max&w=3840&q=50)
Bloom's taxonomy has 6 levels of increasingly sophisticated thinking skills. It was originally developed, in a slightly different form to here, for classifying educational objectives and with additional variations, dimensions and sub-levels in the full models, is still useful for teaching and learning. The hierarchy reflects, among other things, that a strong foundation for learning is knowledge.
The 6 levels in the revised Bloom's Taxonomy for learning are: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create
