What Rigor Looks Like in the Classroom takes the mystery out of rigor and provides practical guidance for implementing rigorous instruction that meets the needs of all students.
--What does rigor really look like in the classroom? As schools focus more and more on increasing academic rigor—in part because of the emphasis on rigor in state standards—it’s a question every teacher is asking.
In this video from ASCD, Robyn Jackson presents the clear and concise definition of academic rigor she’s developed over time, and she works with teachers to show them what rigor looks like in practice.
You’ll visit a variety of schools to see real teachers using Jackson’s field-tested methods to successfully boost academic rigor in their classrooms. Watch these teachers help students
