Beth Dichter's insight:
Are you looking for ways to increase rigor in your classroom? This post provides three strategies as well as a number of examples to help you. The strategies are:
1. Design With Inquiry & Diversity
2. Have Students Create Videos–From Beginning To End
3. Use Virtual Tours
Additional detail is available in the post for each of the strategies and suggestions for adding rigor in ELA and math is also discussed. In fact, the final paragraph states asking "students to write riddles about words, rather than having them simply write a definition...requires students to think at higher levels to complete the activity." Adding rigor may not be as difficult as might think...but it may require that we rethink how we are teaching.
Definitely some good ideas worth initiating in the teaching program.
