Editor's Notes
Lillian Bernstein was a woman whose life was dedicate to training teachers. Lillian, by stature, made me look statuesque! She lived in Brooklyn, commuted to Manhattan, and prepared undergraduates to face NY public schools. And her impact on teaching made her as tall as the skyscrapers surrounding us.
Lillian had a vision of teaching that was effective, engaging and enjoyable for both student AND teacher. And she identified a major adversary to reaching this end. Her message has stuck with me throughout years of teaching in K-12, higher learning, and workplace environments. What do you think she held up as the roadblock?
Bloom's Taxonomy in its various forms represents the process of learning. It has been simplified in some case like the Three Story Intellect (Oliver Wendell Holmes and Art Costa), but it still essentially represents how we learn.Before we can understand a concept we have to remember itBefore we can apply the concept we must understand itBefore we analyse it we must be able to apply itBefore we can evaluate its impact we must have analysed itBefore we can create we must have remembered, understood, applied, analysed, and evaluated.Some people may argue about that you do not require some of the stages for each and every task, action or process; some too may argue about the necessity to reach the creation level for all activities. This is the choice of the individual.
