FLIPPING THE RBT MODEL

The RBT model is playing a huge role in the Essential Standards that we are preparing for in GCS.  I believe that the model has been a little misinterpreted.  I don't believe the revised Blooms is to be strictly adhered to in the triangular diagram as we have seen.  Ms. Wright's notion to flip the model is example of what I mean.  The model is still intact, but it should always leave room to for innovating thinking.  There are times when the model should be flipped or certain steps are skipped and returned to later.  The bottom line is that the model works.  Our approach to it should be more subjective to the activities and results we are trying to achieve.  Feel free to flip...turn it inside out...etc.  But no one particular way can be a "Be all end all". We want to always keep a lot happening "Between the Ears".
