The 3 R's
Rigor, as a concept, is a starting point for educators to translate the demand for all students to master new skills. Curriculum content is one way to think about rigor and what students are able to do as the result of a lesson.
Relevance is essential for students to understand the purpose of learning and be motivated to achieve rigor.
The most important of the three R's is the respectful relationship students experience with their teachers. This is the most important element in motivating students to want to achieve at high standards. Relationships with caring, respectful adults is most important.
