Rigor is not:

• Rigor is not about severity or hardship. • Rigor is not about back-to-basics. • Rigor is not about higher-order thinking. • Rigor is neither a conservative nor a

liberal agenda• Finally—and most important—rigor is

not a measure of the quantity, but quality of content.

The Dark Side of Chocolate

Quadrant C • Emotions awareness

Quadrant D

• Adaptation, students have the competence to think in complex ways as they apply knowledge and skills they have acquired to new and unpredictable situations. Students create solutions and take actions that further develop their skills and knowledge.

What? So What and Now What?

So..what are we teaching them?

• For students to become lifelong learners, problem-solvers, and decision-makers, Quadrant B and D skills are required. In effect, our students need to

“know what to do when they do not know what to do.”
