SOLO (structure of observed learning outcomes) Taxonomy is a powerful learning model. It is a means of making student learning visible. This starts with surface knowledge (prestructural) through to transfer levels of understanding (extended abstract).
Our blogs show teachers how to implement SOLO within their classroom – regardless of the subject. Use this model to create balanced learning experiences for English language learners. Similarly, combine hexagonal thinking with SOLO to strengthen knowledge of climate change.
Want to bring this approach to your classroom? We have resources with SOLO Taxonomy questions, templates, writing frames and differentiated rubrics, all to support critical and creative thinking.
