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? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Examine your pacing guide. See if there are any ways that you can reduce the time you spend on some of the easier to grasp topic. After you have done that, take the more important units and create activities that are more project based. Use technology and students will not see the work as as much of a burden.
