The term Rigor applies to curriculum that encourages students to think critically and is intended to be supportive and stimulating.]]> 2016-09-13 23:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sjackson12/tp6nruh5od0d/wish/123634857 Rigor is like going out dancing.  You dance and dance as the beats gets stronger.  But a good Deejay knows how to build in the rest. sjackson12 https://padlet.com/sjackson12/tp6nruh5od0d/wish/124469494
We dance until we fall and then we take a slow walk to recover and then we dance again.

A teacher who provides rigor knows when to "drop the beat" and when to slow the music down for a minute.

Work students' minds!]]> 2016-09-16 19:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sjackson12/tp6nruh5od0d/wish/124469494 Academic Rigor is a discipline and a practice.  As teacher/mentors we are in a position to provide opportunity for students to value rigor.  Building discipline, fortitude and a "stick to it" practice be it yoga, studying, cooking...It is an important quality and tool to advance yourself at something meaningful. sjackson12 https://padlet.com/sjackson12/tp6nruh5od0d/wish/127015747 2016-09-28 15:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sjackson12/tp6nruh5od0d/wish/127015747 9/29/16                    Rigor is pushing yourself beyond what is easy.  Students can resist this but need to be taught that we we fail, we have to modify what we are doing until we succeed. sjackson12 https://padlet.com/sjackson12/tp6nruh5od0d/wish/127328746
