Increasing Student Rigor with H.E.A.T.

This free course introduces H.E.A.T. (Higher order thinking, Engaged learning, Authentic connections, Technology use) as a lens to go beyond the lesson plan to what is actually happening with students. Many times the activities that the teacher plans do not result in the expected output from students. H.E.A.T. provides a common language to discuss and measure student output in a way that is tied to evidence-based practices.
