Michael Slavkin Director of Teacher Education Mike Martynowicz Instructor of Education

3. An Overview How do we seek rigor? Model what we expect
Build rather than borrow
Maps the route, enjoys the journey,
Everybody counts, monitors frequently
Depth rather than breadth
Read, read, read

13. Rigor in Today’s Classrooms
An instructional leader …
Stimulates innovation and risk taking
Models higher order thinking and questioning
Asks more questions than gives answers
Allows knowledge to be built rather than borrowed
Maps the route, prepares everyone, enjoys the journey, monitors frequently
Defines what we expect and model (not give)
Teaches depth rather than breadth
Pushes students to read, read, read
