Rigor is evident when standards-based instruction is clearly taught and students practice higher-order thinking skills daily to meet grade-level standards. Instruction should be relevant to students' backgrounds and aligned to standards. Students should be actively engaged, able to demonstrate understanding verbally and in writing through classwork and assessments. The document provides a list of "look fors" or things to observe in several areas: learning and teaching, inclusion, and teacher expectations of students. It suggests ensuring standards-based learning and culturally relevant lessons for students of color, as well as evidence of high expectations, participation, and respect for all students.
