Rigor- Finding Instructional Ranges to support Student Growth in Reading (Sept. 25 Late Start)

Rigor- Finding Instructional Ranges to support Student Growth in Reading 

(Sept. 25 Late Start)

Bill Daggett says the key to learning to to have Rigorous and Relevant learning which is our focus in the area  of literacy.  He discusses that we want to live in quadrant D above which is higher order of Blooms going vertically and applying learning to the real world.  Here is a slide from the Model Schools conference about Rigor.  



Barbara Blackburn defines it: 
Rigor is creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels, and each is supported so he or she can learn at high level, and each student demonstrates learning at high level.  (Blackburn, 2008).  If you want to read more, check out the Beginner's Guide to Rigor 

This aligns with our SMART goal on helping all students grow in the area of reading.
