Why Bloom’s Taxonomy?
Our materials are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy because it is the # 1 approach required for student success on any standardized test, plus a proven method in the development of critical thinking, a skill for life.
- Bloom’s taxonomy is used to write state standards
- Bloom’s taxonomy is used to write state tests
- Bloom’s taxonomy is the basis for our materials
Each Toolbook is designed to provide students with practice in the 6 levels of critical thinking outlined in Bloom’s Taxonomy, and used to set questions on standardized tests:
- Recall Recall the facts themselves (memorization, rote learning)
- Interpret Translate the facts into your own words
- Apply Apply the facts to a new situation
- Analyze Break down the facts
- Synthesize Add up the facts
- Evaluate Judge whether the facts measure up to a high standard
The assumption here is simple: If you truly understand a concept you can demonstrate it in six different ways. To do well, the test requires students to manipulate the facts in order to answer questions based on all six methods. It’s that simple, yet most other materials, including text books do not prepare students for this approach to testing and learning. At Performance Education this is what we do well.

What do students think about you?
We spend a great deal of time talking to students and observing how they learn and interact with teachers, their peers and their materials, and there are powerful reasons why they prefer our approach:
Action:
They love the action packed activities which makes a welcome break from all that sitting still.
Variety:
They get to change gears every 15 to 20 minutes so boredom is never an issue
Fun:
Many of the games are hilarious and fun to perform
Student Centered:
Students do almost all the work, which keeps them engaged and motivated.
Peer pressure:
Most students enjoy a sense of competition, and are provided ample opportunity to “shine” in front of their peers.
Success:
Students want to succeed, and if they complete 180 days of practicing Bloom’s Taxonomy they will do well on the test.
Leanne in CA: "You guys are making teaching so much easier and much more fun!"
Lewis in AL: “I am a big fan of your material. I am still loving the shipment from Performance Education
that I received at the end of this past school year. I look forward to using the information in the upcoming

Jane
Where: Suburban high school just north of San Francisco
What: She teaches special ed in high school
How long?: This is her 30th year of teaching.
What does she think?
"Performance Education? I love it. It’s the best I’ve ever seen – and I’ve been teaching a long time.
I’ve told the other teachers in my high school about it. I really push your product.”
Special education
“I’m a special ed teacher. I teach students with severe learning disabilities. The lessons are easy to read, easy to use, very user friendly. I use the overheads – they work really well for short lectures and graphic organizers. But the kids love the games, especially The Bell Game. I went out and bought the bells, of course – and so did the other Social Studies teachers at my high school.”
Students love the speeches
“This week we’re doing the Civil Rights movement. I follow along in your workbook. The kids really got into the activities on Jim Crow. When it came to speeches, each student became a different person in the Civil Rights movement. As you recommend, we’re watching the film ‘Eyes on the Prize.’ And then we’ll do the postcards.”
The California standards
“It definitely fits the California standards.”
“I loved the workbook on Africa . . . and I’ve been to Africa. I used to work for the State Department in Washington, D.C.”
