This podcast just may topple everything you thought you knew about Depth of Knowledge or DOK. Join us on an exposé of this familiar phrase in education as author, educator, and international presenter Erik M. Francis opens up on his new book, Deconstructing Depth of Knowledge.

Along the way, he sheds light on the true meaning of DOK and reveals how you can “tame this monster” to do what it is intended to do. Erik speaks from the heart, infusing this conversation with intelligence, warmth, humor, and a hint of pop culture.

Join us as we delve into:

• The why behind Erik’s work and this book
• How DOK has come to be so mistranslated and misused
• Why the ever-present DOK Wheel is so controversial
• Why this is the perfect time in education to reset and get DOK right
• Creative ways to think about DOK to help you effectively apply it
