ESSENTIAL THOUGHTS:
Rigor = Students Making Meaning For Themselves
A go to person in the building would be Cristin Fox. Her training in Adolescent Critical Reading Intervention does just that. Last year she presented at our staff meeting how she teaches students how to use text structure to break down text? Her instructional strategies help students learn to break down text to make meaning. Bottom line: Students are not comprehending deeply if they are not able to make meaning and then apply it to a new situation.
