Authentic Intellectual Work Authentic intellectual work is defined by three criteria – construction of knowledge, through disciplined inquiry, to produce discourse, products and performance that have value beyond school.

AIW Framework Standards Maximize expectations of intellectual rigor for all students. Increase student interest in academic work. Support teachers’ taking time to teach for in-depth understanding rather than superficial coverage of material. Provide a common conception of student intellectual work that promotes professional community among teachers of different grade levels and subjects. Most important, equip students to address the complex intellectual challenges of work, civic participation, and managing personal affairs in the contemporary world. (Find on vii in blue book)
