Truth about Rigor

Rigor- the quality of being extremely thorough, exhaustive, or accurate.

How do you include rigor in your classroom?
First read this article to get a better understanding rigor. This article shows the most common myths of rigor and how to avoid them.

I plan to involve rigor in my classroom by lesson planing to include lots of critical thinking. I do not plan of including lots of work. More work doesn't mean more rigor. Though my assignment may seem short or even easy to the wondering eye, it will involve lots of deep thinking to create a stronger understanding. I think this is one of the funniest parts of teaching! As a teacher it is you're job to be creative and not only give assignments that cover the material but that cover it in a way that involves a higher level of thinking while keeping all of the students interested. And that is what real rigor is.
