Like many educators, I have known about SOLO Taxonomy for years. For the longest time, I used it as a guide to scaffold understanding, thinking of it as a higher form of rubric or checklist. This approach worked, but something was missing. I was using the framework without truly understanding its deeper potential. Everything shifted for me in 2025 when I discovered the work of Pam Hook.
Those who know Pam's work understand that she is a genius. She took an existing framework and made it come alive for every age and every subject area. What she has done is nothing short of transformative. She saw possibilities where others saw limitations, and she created pathways where others saw barriers. With her blessing, I am putting my own version forward while honoring the beautiful work that already exists.
We live in a world saturated with educational tools and resources, yet we often miss what is right in front of us. There are so many solutions available that we sometimes overlook the profound impact of what is already within reach. The best frameworks are not always the newest ones. Sometimes they are the ones that have been tested, refined, and proven over time.
Take a moment to linger here and practice the power of SOLO. I promise that you won't regret it.
