Rigor & Engagement for Growing Mind
A Book-Study based PD Opportunity
A New Day Dawns in Education.
The focus of current research and the Common Core of State Standards (CCSS) moved education from mastering content toward a major concern for rigor, relevance, depth, clarity, and understanding how instruction influences all students' future life in college or the work place. These changes have significant implications for teachers.
