  Case: Rigor
I teach Honors and next year will teach an AP course. I struggle with the level of rigor within my classroom. I know at times I am too "soft" on the students, but I want the students to learn and enjoy the experience. I do not want to beat them over the head with "extra" work which many times is what taking Honors means. What are some ways I can rise my rigor without it just being extra work?

It is important to keep in mind Bloom's Taxonomy and the different levels of thinking. Have your students complete a project that requires higher order thinking. Instead of add to the amount of work, make the work more meaningful.

Comments: Quality over quantity. Too much work doesn't make it an honors class - its the material that does.
