Rigor is necessary to challenge students and help them think in new and interesting ways]]> 2021-06-30 02:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630939591 https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630940451 "Rigor is a result, not a cause." 
We believe that rigor doesn't come from the content but rather from stretching the students' thinking and understanding. ]]> 2021-06-30 02:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630940451 https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630940589 "Rigor is the result of work that challenges students' thinking in new and interesting ways." It would be important to make lessons rigorous to build students understandings and skills.

We see rigor as challenging the student to their best of the ability, not always giving them the hardest academic work. 

Too many times we ask our students to think by the book, and that is great, but in reality life asks us to think in a variety of different modalities. ]]> 2021-06-30 02:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630940777 https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630940985 Marisol Rodriguez

Rigor to us is making the lessons more challenging which will allow the students to expand their mind. ]]> 2021-06-30 02:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630940985 madrigalgabriela2 https://padlet.com/galvarez5/9c0foxl7hi9p7akd/wish/1630941027 Rigor in education for me it means that students are able to understand complex ideas while learning.
