Worth A Watch
Rigor and Relevance
Remember to look for ways to stretch students to do more cognitive heavy lifting. We don't want students stuck on an escalator!
How are you framing learning for students to make it relevant? Are you asking students to tell you how they can connect their learning to other concepts within a discipline or across disciplines?
When given the time to reflect and discuss, what connections are students making between current learning and previous learning? between current learning and the "real world"?
