Rigor by Design, Not Chance by Karin Hess
Offers not only a clear vision of what makes learning deep and rigorous but also a systematic and equitable approach for engaging students of all ages in rich learning tasks. To that end, Karin Hess outlines five essential teacher moves that foster thinking and learning.
