knowledge the standards and assessments require of students.

performance of a simple process or procedure.

Level 2 is the application of skills and concepts requiring processing
beyond recalling or reproducing a conceptual knowledge response.

Level 3 is strategic thinking requiring a deep understanding and
cognitive reasoning. These standards and assessments may be
complex and abstract.
