Introduction to RIGOR Virtual Institute

Registration Pricing: $325 per person. Registration includes an eBook version of Rigor Unveiled Playbook.

Teachers consistently name rigor among the most disliked terms in education. They may struggle with how to define it in observable and actionable ways. Many will offer that they “know it when they see it,” yet have trouble explaining it in ways that lead to improved rigor and maintaining high expectations in their classrooms. This workshop pulls back the veil on rigor as we explore misconceptions and reclaim and redefine the term as a tool for professional growth and student learning. Following the RIGOR model, together we will explore Relationships, Instruction, Goals, Organization, and Relevance. Participants will identify rigor components already in their teaching repertoire, while learning new strategies to bolster their teaching practice and foster collective efficacy.

Learning intentions:

I am learning to:

• Identify and describe the five components of rigor
• Differentiate between using the RIGOR model as a tool for professional growth and reflection, rather than for evaluation. 
• Use the RIGOR model process to gather evidence that supports continuous improvement in teaching and learning. 

Success Criteria:

I can:

• Describe and give examples of the five rigor components from your, and others, instructional practices.
• Summarize the elements of a Rigor Model and the outcomes it should produce to strengthen practice.
• Distinguish between rigor facts and misconceptions by describing common fallacies and rigor strengths.
• Apply the five components of rigor to your teaching practice to identify strengths and describe opportunities.
• Construct a plan for increasing rigor in my classroom practices.
