DOK and the Iowa Core in ELA and Mathematics
For English Language Arts teachers and Mathematics teachers, the Iowa Department of Education convened groups to add DOK levels to each standard within the Iowa Core. Your printed copy likely doesn’t contain these as the work was done after the time of printing.
Take time to add the DOK levels to your printed copy for the grades or courses you teach only, or download and save a new version containing the DOK levels for use later. Be sure to choose the files with DOK added.
