Taxonomy: a way of classifying information into categories.

Level 1 – Knowledge

Identify one behavior, belief, or action that you need to change. Also, list the possible obstacles that you might encounter.

Level 2 – Comprehension

Explain why this change needs to occur in order for you to be successful.

Level 3 – Application

Using the information from Levels 1 and 2, show your plan (action steps) to overcome the obstacles listed above.

Level 4 – Analysis

Compare your current action steps to the steps you have previously taken to overcome obstacles and enact change. What conclusions can be drawn from this comparison?

Level 5 – Synthesis

Based on the information you have gathered above from investigation and reflection, design your plan to bring about change.

Level 6 – Evaluation

Justify what you are doing, why you need to do it, and how it is going to positively affect your situation.
