The Framework serves three key purposes

1. Clear and Common Thinking Taxonomy

(no wishy washy stuff) – ‘The Why’

2. Provides Purpose and Meaning(by being specific with the

Language of Thinking ) – The ‘What’

3. Links Tools to the task(provides the scaffold for students to

create their response) – The ‘How’
