Revitalizing Rigor
Since the term “rigor” became popular in the 1990s as part of the “rigor, relevance, and relationship” movement in education, great strides have been made in how classroom teachers can and should enhance rigor in their classrooms. In this session, we build on the work of our 2019 book “Understanding Rigor” and present some of the newest approaches to this endeavor.
