Education World: Add Rigor: Upping Vocabulary Complexity
I remember the title of this book from two years ago when my principal was beginning to use the word rigor in an effort to intensify content. Although it still exists, we don't hear it every time he addresses us now. I find myself guilty of many of the same habits in that sometimes I don't spend the necessary time on vocabulary when I need to work with my students' writing and reading skills. In this article, we find alternate ways to process and retain information - many of which remind me of C.R.I.S.S. training I received when I began teaching. I do agree with the technique presented, but also struggle to balance this without inundating students with the dreaded homework. I know there must be a way to work all of this into the curriculum, but struggle each year on completing the desired readings and writing assignments.
