In this video, I break down Bloom’s Taxonomy vs SOLO Taxonomy in a way that actually helps you plan lessons and assess learning—without getting lost in jargon. I walk through what each taxonomy is trying to do: Bloom’s helps you think about the type of thinking you’re asking for (from basic recall to more complex thinking), while SOLO focuses on the quality and structure of a student’s understanding (from surface ideas to deeper connections). My big takeaway is this: Bloom’s is great when you’re designing tasks and questions, especially if you want variety and progression in cognitive demand. SOLO is incredibly useful when you’re looking at student work and trying to diagnose “where they are” in their understanding—so you can give sharper feedback and plan the next step. If you teach online, hybrid, or in a physical classroom, this comparison helps you choose the right framework for the job instead of forcing one taxonomy to do everything.
