TESTIMONIALS
"Erik M. Francis masterfully explains the often-misunderstood Depth of Knowledge (DOK) framework. He walks you through the myths and misperceptions of the model and ultimately gives you the tools to apply it with fidelity in your classroom. This book should be on every educator's desk and should be the guide to deepening understanding for all students."
