Beth Dichter's insight:
Where do we begin when we want rigor to be a component of our courses?
With standards - if your state is using Common Core they have been recognized as rigorous...so what comes next?
With curriculum - if using a text is it rigorous? If creating your own have you thought of rigor as you created your curriculum. This post will help with that as it provides 5 guiding questions for you to ask to evaluate the rigor in curriculum...as well as an example.
Good start. Also relevance to the student.
Rigor across curriculum content, not just a particular subject matter is essential to effective teaching and learning. It is knowing what rigor is in order to determine if it exists.
This iactually the second article of a series . This is a word used frequently, but it's definition varies. I think rigor need to also differentiate , say, reading levels so each learner is challenged from the level they are currently at. Rigor does not mean, "one size fits all!"
