Understanding Rigor In The Classroom

Robert J Marzano has spent over 50 years working in, and revolutionizing, education research and observation. Now in Understanding Rigor in the Classroom, Marzano brings that experience and expertise to one of the most complicated questions in education: what is rigor, and how can I use it to improve my student's learning? Marzano cuts through the noise to define rigor upfront on page one, breaking the concept down to its most essential goals: Rigor is the discerning of new relationships between topics and new distinctions within topics, and discerning new distinctions about oneself as a learner; these distinctions are discovered differently in Declarative and Procedural knowledge, and with different levels of student familiarity with the topic. Marzano goes in-depth in analyzing each learning situation, exploring specific activities, tasks, and strategies to increase rigor that utilize cognitive analysis processes, habits of mind, and project-based learning.
