**Six Facets of Understandings**

 * Higher Order Thinking**

**1. Explain**
Explanation and theories that provide knowledgeable and justified accounts of events, actions, and ideas: Why is that so? What explains such events? What accounts for such action? How can we prove it? To what is this connected? How does this work?

**2. Interpret**
Narratives, translations, metaphors, images, and artistry that provide meaning: What does it mean? Why does it matter? What of it? What does it illustrate or illuminate in human experience? How does it relate to me? What makes sense?

**3. Apply**
Ability to use knowledge effectively in new situations and diverse contexts: How and where can we use this knowledge, skill, or process? How should my thinking and action be modified to meet the demands of this particular situation?

**4. Perspective**
Critical and insightful points of view: From whose point of view? From which vantage point? What is assumed or tacit that needs to be made explicit or considered?

**5. Empathy**
The ability to get “inside” another person’s feelings or world-view: How does it seem to you? What do they see that I don’t? What do I need to experience if I am to understand? What was the author, artist, or performer feeling, seeing, and trying to make me feel and see?

**6. Self-Knowledge**
The wisdom to know one’s ignorance and how one’s patterns of thought and action inform as well as prejudice understanding: How does who I am shape my views? What are the limits of my understanding? What are my blind spots? What am I prone to misunderstand because of prejudice, habit, or style? How do learn best? What strategies work for me?
