So many different strategies to implement that can be so effective.  We've known about these since we all started in credential programs, but it is helpful to see so many different ways that Rigor and Relevance can be implemented.  It's also nice to be affirmed and reminded about building Relationships with our students.

Students should WANT to come to school to learn. Adding rigor and relevance in a balanced way can make that possible. As a child, I always loved school, but using the rigor/relevance framework helps to reach those students who need to learn to love school.

This framework supports student learning in a powerful way. From incorporating Relevance, to building a Rigorous curriculum, student learning will flourish!

# data[].attributes.body
My framework and thinking of student learning has been reaffirmed. I need to focus on creating a safe space for my students, foster more relationships with students, and to look beyond the classroom to search for relevance when introducing and reviewing material. It is important to create high expectations of students and include rigor.

Increased my understanding today! I think Rigor has always been in the forefront of the minds of educators, we knew we needed to pose difficult questions. When we include relevance though the learning shoots through the roof! Giving those real world application opportunities not only allows for students to show their understanding but REMEMBER what they learned and how to apply the information to other problems moving forward.

Relevance makes the students more engaged because they care about what they are learning.

"But why do I have to learn this?" The age old question from students! Real world problems, and letting students choose, will give them more connection and understanding overall. This has affirmed my understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
Students sometimes want to know "why are we learning this?" By adding relevance it can help them to see "the why."

# data[].attributes.body
I can check my lesson with the following questions the students are using:

What are they suppose to learn?
Why are they suppose to learn this?
How can the students apply what they have learned?

# data[].attributes.body
Students are more engaged and learn when they have a connection to the material. It is also good to do because you can look at a student's foundations of knowledge and build it up with relevant material. You need to be aware of a student's background as well and be culturally relevant.

The idea that students won't learn from people who they don't like has really resonated with me. This year has been a struggle with student behavior, but I have to psych myself up every morning to be positive as I can when I walk into the room. Today has reaffirmed the Q-TIP mantra (quit taking it personally). Students are looking to be heard here at school, and I will do better to really listen to what they need.
