Toronto is home to many major industries in Canada and one of the most important economic hubs in North America. As such, the city becomes a living lab for our students. We have three main campuses and several other locations that place students in the heart of downtown Toronto — St. James Campus, Casa Loma Campus and Waterfront Campus.
George Brown College campuses and facilities are located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived on this land.
I work at the St. James Campus.

George Brown College Teaching & Learning Handbook
THE LEARNING CYCLE
GBC has a fantastic new teacher training. The Learning Cycle graphic is from a T&L Handbook. One sometimes needs to remind oneself to be that coach and mentor sometimes.
Bloom’s Taxonomy
The Revised Taxonomy (2001)
A group of cognitive psychologists, curriculum theorists and instructional researchers, and testing and assessment specialists published in 2001 a revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy with the title A Taxonomy for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment. This title draws attention away from the somewhat static notion of “educational objectives” (in Bloom’s original title) and points to a more dynamic conception of classification.
The authors of the revised taxonomy underscore this dynamism, using verbs and gerunds to label their categories and subcategories (rather than the nouns of the original taxonomy). These “action words” describe the cognitive processes by which thinkers encounter and work with knowledge:
- Remember
- Recognizing
- Recalling
2. Understand
- Interpreting
- Exemplifying
- Classifying
- Summarizing
- Inferring
- Comparing
- Explaining
3. Apply
- Executing
- Implementing
4. Analyze
- Differentiating
- Organizing
- Attributing
5. Evaluate
- Checking
- Critiquing
6. Create
- Generating
- Planning
- Producing
BOPPPS
The BOPPPS structure is an excellent one for group project presentations to divide the work and structure the presentation.
