At WAAS, rigor is
Quality
of
thinking,
not
quantity,
and
can
occur
in
any
grade
at
any
subject
(Bogess,
2007)
Deep
immersion
in
a
subject
and
should
include
real-world
settings
(Washor
&
Majkowki,
2006)
Thoughtful
analysis
with
sufficient
attention
to
accuracy
and
detail
(Beane,
2011)
Helping
students
develop
the
capacity
to
understand
content
that
is
complex,
ambiguous,
provocative,
and
personally
or
emotionally
challenging
(Strong,
Silver
&
Perrini,
2001)
Two
different
tools
can
be
used
to
describe
rigor.
Each
addresses
something
different.
Revised

Taxonomy-
What
type
of

verb
(s)
is
needed
to

Webbs
Depth
of
Knowledge-
How
deeply
do
you
have
to
understand
the
content
to
successfully
interact
with
it?
How
complex
or
abstract
is
the
content?
At
WAAS,
we
provide
rigor
by:
Providing
sufficiently
challenging
work
without
making
it
hard
for
the
sake
of
being
hard.
Engaging
students
interests
to
get
the
level
of
engagements
that
leads
to
rigorous
learning
Creating
open
ended
learning
opportunities
Giving
students
open
ceiling
rubrics
with
clear
expectations
(i.e.
this
is
what
you
need
to
do
to
get
a
B
Now,
take
it
above
and
beyond
or
to
the
next
level
to
get
an
A)
Asking
questions
with
no
right
or
wrong
answers,
but
require
the
students
to
support
their
answers
Integrating
the
curriculum
and
using
reading,
writing,
critical
thinking,
research,
public
speaking
and
study
skills
Providing
instruction,
support,
feedback
and
collaboration
during
class
time
rather
than
doing
those
things
during
instructional
time
that
can
be
done
at
home
or
in
guided
study
(i.e.
independent
reading,
brainstorming,
and/or
studying
for
more
than
10
minutes
in
class)
