Rigor is the result of work that challenges students thinking in new and interesting ways

What rigor means to me is that it is something that will be challenging. I never thought that it was when people were flooded with so much work, but something that made you struggle for the end goal. As teachers we want to challenge the students thinking and push them to their true potential. It would be important that I find ways to make activities interesting but also challenging.

To me "rigor" means something that is challenging and rigid or inflexible. I think back to my time at University and I compare it to classes I took at community college. The classes at University were much more rigorous. They pushed me out of my comfort zone and held firm to the standards of the assignment. They were very strict and inflexible in what they were looking for quality and content wise. I think this makes better students who know what they are capable of.

I'm glad that I read rigor is not increasing student work. That is the typical definition I think of when I think of the word rigor. It turns out that rigor comes more from what students do. It challenges their thinking and new and interesting ways. Rigor is driven by the curiosity of the student and stretches their thinking. You can read easy books and still have them be rigorous. The goal is to get the student to dive deeper into their level of sophisticated thinking.

Rigor, in education, is pushing and challenging students critical thinking that helps them gain a better understanding of the world around them

Rigor is not giving students more work, but teaching students to look deeper into the meaning behind the work. It is challenging students to think about things from a different perspective or angle.

For me, rigor is a work ethic scenario where one is dedicated to the task at hand, such as making perfect pasta, something that seems easy but takes years of nuance to fully appreciate and define what your version of "good" is. It's an extension of who and where the students see themselves being, and being rigorous is to make sure they open their own opportunities using the tools in a practical way, so it's important to build that academic ethos and lead from example by being thorough and inquisitive as an instructor, and creating interesting opportunities for learners to engage in the practice.

Rigor is the students' abilities to develop a deeper understanding than what's shown at face value. The ability to analyze critically, creatively, and independently comes not from stacking piles of work for our students, but from their own effort stemmed from their curiosity to discover the unknown.

Rigor is defined as strict precision or inflexibility. What educators are looking for when they say work needs to be rigorous is they want work to be more challenging. Perhaps rigorous just sounds more intimidating than challenging.

Rigor is a result, it is meant to challenge a student and present something new. Have students look at topics deeply and uncover things in a new terrain than what they're familiar with. Actively challenge and encourage them!

Rigor means creating an environment where students are encouraged to question and think deeply about what they are being taught. It is important to make lessons rigorous as it requires students to draw conclusions and develop a higher level of thinking.

Before reading this article, I was one of those people who thought of rigor as "difficulty". Now I see it as a challenge for students to use their critical thinking skills in everything. Even the simple things.

To make something rigorous, it must challenge the student in ways that causes them to think critically or in new ways about what they already know and have already done.

Something isn't rigorous if it's time or labor intensive; it's rigorous if it forces you to think about a familiar problem in a new way.

Rigor is the result of students using previously learned ideas to find out more on their own with a new way of thinking. It does not mean that they are working harder, but they are challenged to think at a higher level and are free to think deeply on content matter.

Rigor can be defined as something cliche, like thinking outside-the-box. Carpe that diem. Well, according to the article.

Rigor is the result of work that is identified through our challenges and thought processes when learning

rigor should, "take them to that intersection of encouragement and engagement, where they confront ideas and problems that are meaningful". If something is hard just for the sake of being hard then it is going to burn a lot of people out and they will focus on getting through it rather than creatively engaging in the material. Lessons should be mentally engaging, not necessarily challenging.

To me, rigor is the quality a student has in wanting to learn something new in the classroom. Their curiosity is what encourages them to learn challenging new subjects in a demanding classroom which eventually leads to better understanding.

Rigor means to challenge students (and yourself) to always do your best work. Can you think critically about everything? Can you take simple concepts/lessons and apply them in ways that change or at least challenge your understanding of the way the world works?

Rigor is challenging students with getting students to think and learning in different ways. It is important to make your lessons rigorous in order to challenge your students. If they have to think more about something and use new or different strategies, they will be working their brain and more likely remember the information. Learning has to challenge students a bit and not be so easy that they do the work and move on from it and not give it a second thought.

Rigor does not mean harder work, but more challenging work that leads to a deeper understanding of the content. It's important to make lessons rigorous because then they would be more rewarding, fulfilling, and important to your students.

I understood rigor as more meaningful based work over the overloaded type of work. To be challenged mentally but off what the knowledge we have. It is important to have in my lessons because it allows the students to remain challenged instead if them allowing themselves to think they learned something and no longer have to try.

Rigor means in my perspective, to challenge learners in a manner where they can grow from the work that is given to them rather just handing them "hard work". It is important to make my lessons rigorous because it can help create a "growth" mindset rather than a fixed mindset.

Rigor is challenging not for the sake of being hard. Rather, it is challenging because we are enlisting our students to think creatively and independently. To come up with answers of their own, not the “right” answers. It is about how they got there! It encourages creativity and discovery. We engage students by saying that what they bring to class is needed and should be explored.

Rigor isn't about how much work students can do but rather teaching rigor in a way that lets students think outside the box and for themselves. It involves having the deeper connection with the lesson/task.

Rigor means to push our students outside of their comfort zone when it comes to thinking and learning. Having a "rigorous" course doesn't mean that you assign outrageous amounts of homework or have the hardest assessments. Creating a love for learning and longing for deeper knowledge is where rigor is found in the classroom.

Rigor means to have students gain a "deeper" understanding of the material. Doesn't necessarily mean "harder" work, just challenge in the way they think and the ways they solve problems. Giving them new and interesting ways of solving problems.
