Collaborating on a definition of rigor has helped me see the viewpoints of other teams and realize that, despite teaching different subject areas, we all have the same high standards and goals for students, and I plan to reach out to other teams more to align my instruction with this vision.

Collaborating on a definition of rigor has helped me see that rigor is more about supporting students to think deeply than simply assigning harder work, and I plan to design lessons that balance high expectations with responsive support to align my instruction with this vision.

Collaborating on a definition of rigor has helped me see the benefits of collaborative thinking among differing perspectives and content areas, and I plan to continue reaching out to those beyond my own department for cross-curricular collaboration to align my instruction with this vision.
